Norfolk - Hethel

Francis White's History, Gazetteer, and Directory, of Norfolk 1854, p. 511

HETHEL, 7 miles S.W. by S. of Norwich, has 27 scattered houses, 210 souls, and 1,414 acres of land, chiefly the property of H. Gurney, Esq. and Sir J. P. Boileau, who have manors here ; but part of the parish is in the manor of East Carlton-with-Hethel. In 1277, the owner of Curzon manor had to find oil for the lamps in the church and a certain quantity of bread for the poor. The Church, dedicated to All Saints, is a rectory, valued in the King's book at £10. The Rev. John Henry Steward is patron and incumbent ; and has 60a. 1r. 39p. of glebe, and a yearly rent of £474 awarded in 1839, in lieu of tithes.
