KIRBY-BEDON, a village on an acclivity overlooking the vale of the Wensum, 3 miles SE of Norwich, has in its parish 265 souls, and 1362A of land. HJ Stracey, Esq, is lord of the manor and owner of a great part of the soil, and the rest belongs to Miss Woolsey, the Rev W Millett, and several smaller proprietors. The Hall, which was the seat of Sir Hanson Berney, Bart, was taken down a few years ago. The parish was formerly divided between two Churches, but that dedicated to St. Mary has been in ruins several centuries, though much of its walls and most of its circular tower still remain, finely clad with ivy. St. Andrew’s is a small church, with the base of a round tower, surmounted by a wooden belfry.
