HELLESDON.
Hellesdon, or Hellesden, situated in Taverham hundred, about 2 miles N.W. of Norwich station, and 115½ from London, and lying in a vale on the verge of the Wensum. In 1851 the population was 467, but a great part is at Hellesdon hamlet, in the county of the city of Norwich. There is a small but neat church, dedicated to St. Mary; it is square built, without a tower, but has a neat wooden belfry and spire. The living, a Rectory consolidated with that of Drayton, is in the gift of the Bishop of Norwich, and the incumbent is the Rev. T. C. Blofield. There is a large corn mill; and a National School was erected in Hellesdon hamlet in 1852.
