BRESSINGHAM is a village 3 miles N.W. of Diss station, in Diss hundred, rural deanery of Redenhall, diocese of Norwich, archdeaconry of Norfolk, Guiltcross union, and Diss county court district, East Norfolk; contains 596 inhabitants and 2,300 acres. The church is dedicated to St. John the Baptist. The living is a rectory, annual value £455, with residence, in the gift of the Duke of Norfolk. The incumbent is the Rev. George Henry Clarke Bidwell, M.A., who is also lord of the manor. Here is a farm called the Gate Farm, from the fact of there being three gates hanging on one post, and is considered by the parties living in the neighbourhood to be one of the greatest curiosities in Norfolk.
