"BACONSTHORPE is a village and parish, 2½ miles E. by S. of Holt, comprising 326 inhabitants, and 1688 acres of land, of which 1348A. are assessable. Lady Suffield and J.T. Mott, Esq., of Blickling, are the principal owners. The latter is lord of the manor, and patron of the rectory, valued in the King's Book at £9, and now enjoyed by the Rev. J.A. Partridge, M.A. The glebe is 12a., and the tithes were commuted, in 1842, for £379 per annum. The rectory-house was nearly destroyed by lightning, in 1692, and by fire in 1754; after which it continued ruinous till 1770, when it was repaired at a considerable expense, by the rector and his parishioners. The CHURCH (St. Mary the Virgin,) is a large handsome edifice, which was partly destroyed by the fall of the steeple, in 1739, but was thoroughly repaired and beautified, chiefly at the expense of the Rev. Wm. Hewitt, in 1779. Here is a small Wesleyan Chapel, built in 1844." [William White, History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © Richard Johns]
