ALTHORP
Was at the survey a beruite belonging to the King's manor of
Fakenham, as it did in King Herold's time, containing one carucate
of land, 3 bordarers, one servus; in demean, one carucate, two
bovates, and two acres of meadow amongst the men, or tenants. (fn. 1)
This is now a small hamlet lying about two miles to the north-east
of Fakenham, and continues part of that lordship at this time.
The inhabitants pay both great and small tithes to the rector of
Fakenham, and come to that church; formerly I find there was a
chapel dedicated to All-Saints, belonging to it, standing in 1419, and
was charged separately for tenths at 20s. In Edward the First's reign,
here were 30 houses with their families, and they baptised and buried
here, and here was the gild of All-Saints.
