"SWARDESTON, 4 miles S.S.W. of Norwich, is a pleasant village and parish, containing 359 souls, and about 900 acres of land, in two manors, called Swardeston and Gowthorpe. Hudson Gurney, Esq., is lord of the former, and the Rev. J.H. Steward of the latter; but part of the soil belongs to R.K. Long, Esq., J.T. and R.P. Kemp, Esqrs., and several smaller owners. Swardeston Rectory, built by the Hobart family, was mostly rebuilt some years ago, by its owner and occupant, J.T. Kemp, Esq., the impropriator. The Hall Farm, formerly a seat of the Berneys, is the tithe-free estate of the Rev. J.H. Steward, of East Carlton, the patron and incumbent of the vicarage, valued in the King's Book at £6, and augmented with £800 of Queen Anne's Bounty, in 1800 and 1819, and £200 given by J. Steward, Esq., in the latter year. The CHURCH (Virgin Mary,) is a neat edifice, . . . and contains memorials of the Marsh, Kemp, and Berney families. Mangreen Hall, now a farm-house, belongs to R.K. Long, Esq. "[William White History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © Pat Newby]
