GENUKI provides a description of East Flegg Hundred from White's History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk 1845. It includes a table showing the populations of the individual parishes in 1841.

A map, also from GENUKI, illustrates the locations of the various parishes within the hundred.

East Flegg and West Flegg were two small hundreds on the east coast of Norfolk, just north of Great Yarmouth. East Flegg is the southernmost.
