In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Rockland All Saints like this:

The property is much subdivided. The Wayland workhouse is in R.-All Saints. The livings are conjoint rectories in the diocese of Norwich. Value, £546. Patron, the Rev. A. B. Hemsworth. All Saints' church was restored in 1860. St. Andrew's church has long been in ruins. There are a national school, and charities £25.
