Norfolk: Quarles

William White's History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk 1883

QUARLES FARM, a small parish, 3 miles S.S.W. of Wells, is in Walsingham union, North Greenhoe hundred and petty sessional division, Fakenham county court district, Norwich bankruptcy court district, and Wells polling district of North Norfolk. It had 22 inhabitants in 1881, living on 600 acres, and has a rateable value of about £700.

The parish belongs to the Earl of Leicester. Part of the plantations and the triumphal arch at the entrance to Holkham Park are in this manor, which had anciently a church, which was in ruins in 1571, and no traces of it now remain. It was subject to Crake [ie Creake] Abbey, and was given by the Countess of Richmond, mother of Henry VII., to Christ's College, Cambridge, and was purchased by the Earl of Leicester in 1880.
