| GENUKI provides a description of West 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.
As will be noticed on the map, West Flegg is north of East Flegg.
