Rogers' Directory of Norwich and Neighbourhood

by Edmund Dawson Rogers

Woodcock, John, parish clerk

HELLESDEN, or HELLESDON, is situated in Taverham hundred, about 2 miles from Norwich. In 1851 the population was 467, but a great part is at Hellesdon hamlet, in the county of the city of Norwich. The church of St. Mary is small but neat: it is square built, without a tower, but has a wooden belfry and spire. The living is a rectory, consolidated with that of Drayton (see Drayton). A National school was erected in 1852, by Government grant and subscriptions.
