In 1881 Joseph Fiddy, a widowed labourer, aged 81 from Itteringham was residing in Aylsham Union Workhouse. Amongst the other inmates were 8 persons registered as imbeciles.

Mary Ann Bartram married Edmund/Edward Heazel in 1832 in Itteringham. Edward / Edmund Heazel / Hazel left $100 (U.S.) to Richard Bartram "stepson" in his will (1877 Huron County, MI, USA). The inheritance was signed for by William Bartram of Itteringham. Edmund/Edward Heazel is said to have run away from home when he was a child. His parents caught up with him when he was about 10 or 12 and asked to him come home. He refused.

I have spoken to my parents and they said my grandparents were at Mosseymere from the early 30's (my father said he was about 12 at the time) until about 1950 when my grandparents moved to the Common.  My grandfather Sidney Jickells was head keeper on the Wolterton estate but I believe the shoot was not actually run by the then Lord Walpole - I may be wrong.  My parents met on the Wolterton estate when my father after leaving school went as underkeeper and my mother was in service in Wolterton Hall.  I seem to remember her saying that on occasions she helped to look after Robin (now Lord Walpole) when he was small.

I am a descendant of Charles Garnham (Itteringham, 1845). His wife, Sarah Garnham (née Pratt) travelled to Australia with her children - her grave stone carries the inscription "Native of Norfolk, England"
Sarah married Charles, her farmhand after her first husband. John Pratt (her first cousin) died after being thrown from a horse.
John was Sarah's first cousin and was a A Yeoman Calvary Officer of the Manor House Itteringham. His father's name was Christian.
Sarah brought to Australia her four Garnham children and four Pratt children in 1853 after Charles died.

A Mr Barker, who was the foreman for Charles Gay moved into Bintry farmhouse.

Arthur Thomas Lake's wedding

The Lake family lived at Itteringham House for many years. 

There is a story about my great grand father Thomas Lake 1864-1924. After Agnes died, apparently from a broken heart following the death of son Herbert in WW1, another women came on the scene and somehow took most of the money and went to Canada with her son (no names known) and apparently the Lakes lost the farm which I believe they rented from Lord Walpole, the big local landowner. I met the wife of the present Lord Walpole in the churchyard approx 5 years ago when I was looking for graves.
