A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Little Plumstead from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
- "PLUMSTEAD (Little), a parish, with a village, in Blofield [registration] district, Norfolk; 2 miles N N W of Brundall [railway] station, and 5 E by N of Norwich. Post-town: Norwich. Acres: 1,395. Real property: £3,377. Population: 319. Houses: 72. The property is divided among three. [Plumstead] Hall is the seat of Jecks, Esq. The living is a rectory in the diocese of Norwich. Value and Patron: not reported. The church is neat and good; has a round tower, and a fine E window; and contains several monuments. There are a national school and a fuel allotment £48."
In 1935 Little Plumstead and Great Plumstead and the village of Thorpe End (part of Little Plumstead parish) merged into the one civil parish of Great and Little Plumstead.
