Blomefield’s History of Norfolk
An Essay towards a Topographical History of the County of Norfolk by Francis Blomefield (1705–1752) remains an important historical source. The link above is to Stanhoe’s entry in Volume 10, which was edited by Charles Parkin after Blomefield’s death from smallpox, and published in 1809. It contains a list of Stanhoe rectors up to 1760.

Stanhoe mill
Stanhoe probably once had a windmill near Mill Hill Farm (now Mill House), by the Creake turning on the Burnham road. According to this entry from norfolkmills.co.uk, the mill was still visible, though derelict, in the late 1950s.
However, this does not chime with the memories of Rosemary Brown, who lived at Mill House in the 1950s and whose grandparents had bought the house in the 1930s. The Browns believed that the mill had once stood nearby, but even by the 1930s it was no longer visible and they did not know the exact site. Either the photo on norfolkmills.co.uk was taken much earlier, or it is of a different mill.
We do not have any photos of Stanhoe mill, and would be very interested to hear from anyone who knows more.
Little Barwick, or Middleton, had a postmill too. According to local historian , a mound still visible in the grounds of Barwick House may mark the site of this mill.
