A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Haveringland from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1871-72:

"HAVERINGLAND, or HAVERLAND, a parish in St. Faith [registration] district, Norfolk; 2¾ miles SE of Reepham, and 9 E of North Elmham [railway] station. Post town: Reepham, under Norwich. Acres: 2,062. Real property: £1,983. Population: 131. Houses: 29.
"The property is all in one estate, and belongs to E. Fellowes, Esq. Haveringland Hall, the seat of Mr. Fellowes, is a recent edifice in the Corinthian style, and stands in a park finely ornamented with wood and water. A chapel was founded here, in the time of King John, by William de Gisneto; was given by him to the priory of Wymondham; and became a cell for a prior and several black canons.
"The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Norwich. Value: £63. Patron: E. Fellowes, Esq. The church has a circular tower, and is good."
