BLOFIELD.
An extensive but detached village and parish, in the hundred of the same name, East Norfolk, distant from Norwich 7 miles east. The Norwich and Yarmouth line of railway passes within a mile and a quarter, and a neat station-house has been erected at Brundall, 119½ miles from London. The parish contains 2,277 acres of land, and the population in 1851 was 1,175 inhabitants. Petty Sessions are held at the Globe Inn every alternate Monday; also a statute fair, or sessions for the hiring of servants, a few days before Michaelmas. Here is an endowed School for educating poor boys, which is conducted by Mr. R. J. Codling. The church, a plain structure, possesses a fine and lofty tower, containing six bells. The interior is neat, and the windows spacious; it was re-pewed in 1819. There are several ancient tablets, &c. The living is a rectory, in the patronage of Caius College, Cambridge. The present incumbent is the Rev. Thomas Smith Turnbull, M.A., and his curate, the Rev. J. V. Button, M.A.
