Norfolk: Salle

William White's History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk 1845

SALL, or Saul, a small village and parish, 1½ mile N. of Reepham, has 267 inhabitants, and 1758 acres of land. Sir Richard Paul Jodrell, Bart., (1783,) owns most of the soil, and resides at Sall House, a large brick mansion, in an extensive and well-wooded park; but W.E.L. Bulwer, Esq., is lord of the manor of Sall-Rick House, now occupied by a farmer; and J.H. Holley, Esq., and the Rev. J. Perowne, have estates in the parish.

The Church, (St. Peter and St. Paul,) is a stately pile, in the cathedral form, with a lofty tower, containing six bells. In the chancel is a fine brass with a skeleton figure of John Brigge, dated 1454. The rectory, valued in the King's Book at £12. 19s. 7d., has 30A. of glebe, and a yearly rent of £468, awarded in 1841, in lieu of tithes. The patronage is in Pembroke Hall, Cambridge, and the Rev. Edward Bulwer is the incumbent.

The Town Lands, 8A. 1R., and a cottage, are let for £17, which is applied with the church rates, except the yearly sums of 20s. on St. John's day, and 10s. in Lent, among the poor, in consideration of the bequests of Mary and Elizabeth Bell, and a Mr. Sendal; the latter of whom died before 1650. In 1789, Amy Howard left the interest of £30, for distribution among the poor, at Christmas. The stock purchased with this legacy, yields £1. 4s. 6d. per annum.
