DUNSTON, on the small river Tas, 4 miles S of Norwich, has in its parish 107 souls, and about 600 acres of land, all the property of R K Long, Esq, of Dunston Hall, the lord of the manor, impropriator of the tithes, and patron of the Church (St Remigius) which is a curacy, valued in 1831 at £30, and now enjoyed by the Rev H C Long. It was augmented, in 1762 and ’92, with £400 of QAB. In the chancel is a brass, with effigies of Clere Talbot and his two wives. Nearly all the parishioners died of the plague in 1349.
