The village of Riddlesworth is mentioned in Alan Davison's book 'Deserted Villages in Norfolk' as having been a small and moderately prosperous place in the 1340s. By 1584 it was tiny, consisting of manor house, church, rectory and 10 houses, and in the 1670s its size had dwindled to two houses and 15 people. Whether as a result of depopulation by the Drurys, the Lords of the Manor, is not known. The modern-day hamlet consists of Manor Farm, a handful of cottages and St Peter's church. The Hall, and attractive Georgian-style house surrounded by 30 acres of parkland, now functions as a school.
