PASTON, a scattered village and parish, 4 miles NE by N of North Walsham, has 298 souls, and 1375 acres of land, mostly the property of John Mack, Esq, the lord of the manors of Paston, Leeches, Latimers, and Huntingfields; but Wm Custance, Esq, has a small manor here, called Paston Sacre.
The Church (St Margaret,) has a tower and five bells, and contains several monuments to the Pastons. The church was in a very dilapidated state, but was thoroughly repaired and beautified in 1843-4, at the cost of about £500. The vicarage, valued in the King’s Book at £6 13s 4d, was augmented with £400 of Queen Anne’s Bounty in 1774 and 89. J. Mack, Esq, is patron, and the Rev FE Arden, incumbent.
