RACKHEATH, a parish in the hundred of TAVERHAM,
county of NORFOLK, 5 miles (N.E. by N.) from
Norwich, containing 260 inhabitants. The living is a
discharged rectory, in the archdeaconry and diocese of
Norwich, rated in the king's books at £6.13. 4., and
in the patronage of Edward Stracey, Esq. The church
is dedicated to All Saints. Rackheath formerly comprised
two villages and parishes, Rackheath Magna and
Rackheath Parva, but the church of the latter, which
was dedicated to the Holy Trinity, no longer exists, and
the livings have been consolidated. Here was anciently
a small priory, the revenue of which was valued, in 1428,
at £2. 1. 3.
