HELLESDEN, or HELLESDON, is situated in Taverham hundred, about 2 miles
from Norwich. In 1851 the population was 467, but a great part is at
Hellesdon hamlet, in the county of the city of Norwich. The church of
St. Mary is small but neat: it is square built, without a tower, but has
a wooden belfry and spire. The living is a rectory, consolidated with
that of Drayton (see Drayton). A National school was erected in 1852, by
Government grant and subscriptions.
