GRISTON, a parish in the hundred of WAYLAND,
county of NORFOLK, 2 miles (S.E.) from Watton, con-
taining 198 inhabitants. The living is a discharged vicarage,
in the archdeaconry and diocese of Norwich,

of the Bishop of Ely. The church was anciently
dedicated to St. Margaret, and had four guilds, but, in

Peter and St. Paul, whose emblems, viz., cross keys and
swords, still adorn its handsome tower.
