CARLTON ST. MARY, or EAST CARLTON, is a parish and scattered village, in
Humbleyard hundred and Henstead Union, East Norfolk; distant from
Swainsthorpe station 2 miles N.W., and Norwich 5 miles S.W. by S.,
containing 284 inhabitants in 1851, and 1,116 acres of land.
The Church of St. Peter went to ruins in 1550, but its discharged
Rectory, valued at £140, still remains as a sinecure in the gift of the
crown, and incumbency of the Rev. Samuel Barker, of Lakenhall, in
Suffolk.
The Church of St. Mary is a small edifice with a short tower surmounted
with a wooden spire. The living is a Rectory, valued, in the King’s
book, at £4, and in 1831 at £181, in the patronage of the Norwich Charity
Trustees, and incumbency of the Rev. Robert John Francis, for whom the
Rev. Frederic Cavill officiates.
