Historical Description
SALTHOUSE is a parish near the seashore, 4 miles north from Holt station on the Eastern section of the Midland and Great Northern joint railway, 10 east from Cromer and 12 west from Wells, in the Northern division of the county. Holt hundred, petty sessional division and county court district, Erpingham union, rural deanery of Holt and archdeaconry and diocese of Norwich. The surface of this parish is undulating, and the higher grounds command fine sea views: about 500 acres of marsh, belonging to this and the adjoining parishes of Cley and Kelling, were in 1851 drained and embanked, but about 1863 the banks were broken and have not since been repaired; 339 acres belong to this parish and the remainder to the other two parishes before mentioned. The church of St. Nicholas is a large and lofty building of flint, with stone dressings, in the Perpendicular style, consisting of chancel, clerestoried nave, aisles, north and south porches, vestry and an embattled western tower containing one bell: the church was reseated in 1887 and several of the old oak benches with poppy heads still remain; the stone font is adorned with shields bearing the emblems of the Passion and Evangelistic symbols: a stained window was placed at the east end of the south aisle in 1878: there are 100 sittings. The register dates from the year 1538. The living is a discharged rectory, annexed to that of Kelling, tithe rent-charge £520, average £382, joint net yearly value £330, with 16 acres of glebe, in the gift of John Savory esq. and held since 1885 by the Rev. Charles Ernest Lowe M.A. of St. Edmund Hall, Oxford, who resides at Kelling. Here is a Free Methodist chapel, erected in 1891, and seating about 150, and a Primitive Methodist chapel now disused. At the inclosure in 1781 the poor received three allotments, comprising 349 acres, for fuel and pasturage; one of these, comprising 122 acres, was part of Kelling common. Here is a coast guard station, with rocket life-saving apparatus. No. 304; this station is connected with the other stations on the coast by telephone. On the extreme east of the heath, adjoining Kelling parish, is an earthwork, which may be roughly described as a raised bank, much in the form of an old-fashioned figure of 6, about 35 paces in diameter, with a mound in the centre, perhaps 6 or 8 feet higher than the embankment: the entrance, as at Beeston, is on the north side, towards the sea. Onesiphorus Randall esq. who is lord of the manor, the trustees of the late William Purdy esq. W. Davy esq. and Mrs. Johnson are the chief landowners. The soil is chiefly light; subsoil, marl. The chief crops are wheat, barley, turnips and grass. The area is 1,559 acres of land, 15 of water and 31 of foreshore; rateable value, £874; the population in 1891 was 215.
This parish is attached to the Weybourne United District School Board, formed compulsorily 14 May, 1875 The children of this place attend the Board school at Kelling Coast Guard.
