Blomefield (1805-1810) writes: "The Church was dedicated to St. Mary the Virgin [...]; the church was in use in 1531, but is now totally dilapidated; [...] it stood by the road side, about a fur long on the left hand, after you have passed Mayton bridge from Fretenham; it was not very small, the ruins are covered with earth, but are very easy to be traced"; there is no date given for the foundation of the church in Blomefield (ibid.), and there is no mention of a church in the Domesday entry reproduced in it, but it names "Gyles Jerge of Hardingham" as first recorded rector, in 1349, and adds: "1435, Thomas Grey, by lapse. He was the last rector, for when he voided it, it was consolidated to Lammas, and so remains". White's Gazetteer of 1845 notes: "The Church (St. Mary,) stood near the Bure, but no vestiges of it are now extant", and the entry in Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of 1870-1872 reads: "The living is a rectory, annexed to the rectory of Lammas, in the diocese of Norwich. There is no church."
