There are three entries for Scratby [variant spelling] in the Domesday book [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TG5015/scratby/] [accessed 3 June 2014], one of which reports a church and churchlands in it. Blomefield (1805-1810) writes: "The Church is a rectory, dedicated to All-Saints, and appropriated on the decease of Ralph Putterel, rector, to the priory of Norwich, for use of the sacrist, by John Grey Bishop of Norwich, in 1205, [...] and a vicarage was appointed. [...] 1548, Robert Allen, he was the last vicar; being this year consolidated or united to Ormesby, and the church was licensed to be demolished."
