WENHAM (LITTLE), a parish in the hundred of
SAMFORD, county of SUFFOLK, 5 miles (s. E. by E.)

is a discharged rectory, annexed to that of Capel St.
Mary, in the archdeaconry of Suffolk, and diocese of
Norwich, rated in the king's books at £5. 8. 11.
Here are the remains of an old castle, which; from
bearing the date 1569, appears to have been either
built or repaired in that year; it has been converted
into a granary.
