A lime-tree, at Deopham-High-Tree, near a petrifying spring, was described by Evelyn as 48 feet in girth at the ground, 36 feet at ½ a yard above, and 25½ at two yards. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Norwich. Value, £240. Patrons, the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury. The church is later English; and its chancel was restored in 1864. There are two Primitive Methodist chapels, a national school, and charities £21.
