STURSTON
, 5½ miles S.W. by S. of Watton, is a small parish, with 9 houses, 62 souls, and 1,802 acres of sandy land, in one farm, the property of Lord Walsingham, and occupied by Mr. Charles Hall. The Church, dedicated to the Holy Cross, has long been a heap of ruins, though the burial ground is still used. The sinecure salary, valued in 1831 at £28, is in the gift of Lord Walsingham, and enjoyed by the Rev. F. W. Mant.
