Norfolk - Stanford

William White's History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk 1845, p. 398.

STANFORD, a small village on the south side of the Wissey, 6 miles S.W. of Watton, has in its parish 184 souls, and 2183 acres of light sandy land, partly a rabbit warren and sheep walk. Lord Walsingham is owner of the soil and lord of the manor. The Church (All Saints) is a small fabric, with a tower half circular and half octangular. The Bishop of Ely is appropriator of the great tithes, and patron of the vicarage, valued in K.B. at £5. 13s. 1d., and in 1831, at £60. It was augmented, in 1775 and 1804, with £400 of Q.A.B., and is enjoyed by the Rev. George Miller.
