WITTON.

A very small agricultural village and parish in Blofield hundred, with 587 acres of rich land, situated 2 miles from Brundall station, and 5 miles E. of Norwich. Principal owners, John Penrice, Esq., and Rev. C. Penrice. The church (St. Margaret) is a plain building, and contains nothing worthy of remark. The rectory, of small value, consolidated with Little Plumstead and Brundall, is enjoyed by the patron, the Rev. Charles Penrice, who resides at Little Plumstead. Two farm houses and one mill, with a few cottages, form the village; and the population, in 1851, was 120.
