KENNINGHALL, a small improving market town, on the eastern banks of a rivulet, 3 miles E by S of East Harling, and 4 miles SW of New Buckenham, has in its parish 1389 inhabitants, and 3524 acres of land, belonging to the Duke of Norfolk, the Earl of Albemarle, N Cooke, the Calver family, and many smaller proprietors.
Kenninghall had anciently a large weekly MARKET, held every Monday, and it was revived about twelve years ago, for the sale of stock, etc, now exposed for sale (toll free) in the large yard at the Crown Inn. Here are also two annual FAIRS for cattle, on July 18th, and sheep, on Sept 30th.
The Church (St Mary) has a nave, chancel, north aisle, south porch, and a large square tower at the west end, containing eight bells, and having the crest of Norfolk upon the buttresses. The vicarage, valued in the King’s Book at £5 17s 1d, and in 1831, at £250, is enjoyed by the Rev Wm Killett, BA, with 10A 3R 26P of glebe, and a small portion of the rectorial tithes, most of which are in the appropriation of the patron, the Bishop of Ely, but leased to Mrs and Miss Pope and Charles Wright, Esq.
