LINFORD, (Norfolk) bet. Mundford and Buckenham-PARVA, has a passage over the r. to Ickburgh. It bel. formerly to the
priory of Thetford; but at the Diss. K. Hen. VIII. granted it to Thomas D. of Norfolk, upon whose attainder it reverted to
the crown, and was granted by K. Edw. VI. to Rich. Fulmerston, from whom it went by marriage of his daughter to Sir Edw.
Clare. In the R. of Q. Eliz. the reversion of it was granted to Philip Earl of Arundel, by whom it was sold to Francis
Mundford, Esq; of Feltwell. It was afterwards sold to Mr. Turner, whose son, the late Sir Charles, conveyed it, about
1717, to James Nelthorp, Esq; who built a very agreeable seat here, in the foundation of which, in 1720, two Roman urns
were dug up, as was another near it, in 1735, with pieces of bones and ashes. The site of its Ch. which has been long
demolished, is inclosed and planted with Scotch firs. This place is assessed to the land-tax at 189 l. 26 s. 8 d.
