SHINGHAM, 4 miles S.W. of Swaffham, has in its parish only 59 souls, and about 1,000 acres of land, partly in South Greenhoe Hundred, and all in one farm, occupied by Mr. John Newman, and belonging to the Hon. C.S. Cowper.
The CHURCH, (St. Bardolph,) is a rectory, valued in the King's Book at £4 6s. 8d., and consolidated with Beechamwell All Saints. (See page 610 [which is the entry for Beechamwell].) It was augmented with £200, of Queen Anne's Bounty, in 1794, and the tithes were commuted in 1839, for £98 per annum.
