union, is distant from Swainsthorpe station 2 miles, and Norwich 5. It
contained 284 inhabitants in 1851, and 1213 acres of land. East Carleton
anciently formed two parishes, and had two churches, which are now united
for parochial, but separated for ecclesiastical purposes. The church of
St. Peter went to ruins in 1550, but its discharged rectory still remains
as a sinecure, in the gift of the Lord Chancellor, and incumbency of the
Rev. Samuel Barker, of Lakenheath, in Suffolk. The living of the church
of St. Mary is a rectory, in the gift of the Norwich Charity Trustees,
