COSTESSEY.
Costessey, a parish and town corrupted into Cossey, is pleasantly situated 4½ miles N.W. of Norwich. The Hall is the seat of Lord Stafford, and stands in an extensive park, close to the Wensum. A fine sheet of water crosses the park.
The Church of St. Edmund, 1½ mile east of the hall, is a large building with square tower and lofty wooden spire. The living is a perpetual Curacy, in the gift of the Trustees of the Great Hospital, and enjoyed by the Rev. James William Evans, M.A., who resides here. There is a National School, a large Roman Catholic School, and a handsome Roman Catholic Chapel. The Baptists have a Chapel.
