MANNINGTON, a small parish, 5 miles N.N.W. of Aylsham, has 2 houses, 12 souls, and 549 acres of land, the property of the Earl of Orford, and in the two farms called the Hall and Mere, the former occupied by Mr. Wm. Gay, and the latter by Mr. Jno. Cook, of Thwaite. Wm. Summer, who built the hall, had license to make a castle of it, on the battlements of which were placed several small guns. The Church was built by the Earl of Pembroke, but has long been a neglected ruin, and its discharged rectory, valued in the King's book at £5, is consolidated with Itteringham.
