DRAYTON, in Taverham hundred and in the union of St. Faith’s, is situated
about 4½ miles north-west of Norwich station. The principal object of
interest is the ruin of old Drayton Lodge, situated on an acclivity half
a mile south-west of the church, near the residence of Frederick Magnay,
Esq. Its walls are composed of yellow brick. Here is also an
entrenchment field of battle, called BLOODSDALE, and the ruins of an
ancient cross. The church of St. Margaret is a plain building, with
thatched roof and square tower. The living, in the gift of the Bishop of
Norwich, is a rectory consolidated with Hellesdon, joint gross annual
value £649. The Rev. Hinds Howell, B.A., is the incumbent, and resides
at the Rectory. There is a National School recently opened for boys and
girls; and there is also a Baptist Chapel in the village. The parish
contains 1284 acres, and in 1851, the population was 472.
