Aylseham in Norfolk County England History and Geography

AYLSEHAM, or AYLSHAM, a parish in the southern division of the hundred of ERPINGHAM, county of NORFOLK, 12¼ miles (N. by W.) from Norwich, and 121 (N.E. by N.) from London, containing 1853 inhabitants. This place, situated on the southern bank of the river Bure, which is navigable for barges from Yarmouth, was formerly one of the principal manufacturing towns in the county; the linen made here was much esteemed, and distinguished by the name of Aylsham web: this branch of industry was succeeded by the woollen manufacture and the knitting of stocking pieces, which flourished until the introduction of machinery, since which it has greatly declined, a few looms only being employed for the manufacturers at Norwich: the trade at present is principally in corn and timber. The market is on Tuesday, and fairs are held on March 23d, and the last Tuesday in September. The town is within the jurisdiction of the county magistrates: constables and other officers are appointed at the court leet of the lord of the manor. The living is a rectory, in the archdeaconry and diocese of Norwich, rated in the king's books at £17. 19. 7., and in the patronage of the Dean and Chapter of Norwich. The church, dedicated to St. Michael, was founded by John of Gaunt, in the 14th century, it is a spacious structure in the decorated style of English architecture, and contains a curious and richly sculptured font. There are places of worship for Baptists and Methodists. The free school, founded in 1517, by Robert Jermys, mayor of Norwich, and endowed with £10 per annum, has been incorporated with the National school. A school, founded by Robert James, has an endowment of £10 per annum, for the instruction of seven boys.
