WOODTON, a pleasant village, 10 miles S by E of Norwich, and 5 miles NW by N of Bungay, has in its parish 567 souls, and 2,112 acres of fertile land, belonging to several proprietors, – the largest of whom are Rt Fellowes, and John Winn Gooch, Esqrs. The latter has a pleasant seat here, called Woodton Place; but the Hall, which was long a seat of the Suckling family, was pulled down a few years ago. The CHURCH is a neat structure, and among its monuments is the marble effigy of Anne, wife of Robert Suckling, Esq, who died in 1653. The rectory, valued in KB at £6 13s 4d, is in the gift of the Rev SM Suckling, and the incumbency of the Rev Richard Waldegrave Packer, MA. The tithes were commuted in 1841 for £615 per annum, and the glebe is 26A. Here is a Wesleyan Chapel, built in 1836.
