Descriptive gazetteer entries

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

WANGFORD, a parish in Mildenhall district, Suffolk; 3¼ miles SW of Brandon r. station. Post town, Brandon. Acres, 3,252. Real property, £834. Pop., 50. Houses, 10. Most of the property belongs to G. H. Wilson, Esq. W. Hall was the residence of Lord Chief Justice Wright, of the time of James II.; and is now a farmhouse. Extensive rabbit warrens are here; and sometimes furnish so many as 10,000 rabbits weekly to the London market. The living is a rectory, annexed to Brandon. The church is ancient.
