WINFARTHING, (Norfolk) on the S. side of New-Buckenham, was in the Conqueror's time 2 m. long and 1 broad. It is
privileged as ancient demesne, the tenants being excused from serving as jurors at the sessions or assizes, or any where
else out of the manor, and from toll in Mts. and Fairs, upon renewing their writ every R. and having it annually allowed
by the sheriff of the Co. Sir Thomas D'aeth, Bt. and serjeant Probyn conveyed this manor in 1724. to Humph. South of
London, merchant, to the use of Elizabeth (only child of John Gray, late of Barbadoes) who is now lady of the manor. Here
were formerly two deer-parks. In the great one, which was the Bt of Arundel's, stood the manor-house. In 1660 here were
189 communicants, and now there are 50 dwelling-houses, and about 260 inh. It paid 1 l. 16 s. to the tenths, was valued at
1256 l. to the Pt. valuation, and now at 934 l. to the land-tax.
