Intwood, Norfolk

Description
Intwood, a village and a parish in Norfolk, 2 3/4 miles E from Hethersett station on the G.E.R., and 3 1/2 SW from Norwich. Post town, Norwich; money order and telegraph office, Eaton. Acreage, 628; population, 62. The manor was given by William the Conqueror to Eudo Dapifer, and belonged in the time of Elizabeth to Sir Thomas Gresham, the founder of the Royal Exchange. Intwood Hall is chiefly a modern mansion, but it retains portions of the old hall of the Greshams, with their armorial bearings; and that hall gave entertainment, in 1549, to the Earl of Warwick, when on his march against the Norfolk rebels. The living is a rectory, united with the rectory of Keswick, in the diocese of Norwich; joint gross value, £390 with residence. The church is a structure of flint and stone in the Perpendicular style, and has a round tower, surmounted by an octagonal lantern. ''
