In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Herringby like this:
HERRINGBY, a hamlet in Stokesby parish, Norfolk; on the river Bure, 5 miles WNW of Yarmouth. It formerly had an hospital, founded, in 1475, by Hugh Attefenne; it formerly also was a parish; and it still ranks as a rectory, annexed to the rectory of Stokesby, in the diocese of Norwich.
Herringby is now part of GREAT YARMOUTH District. Click here for graphs and data of how GREAT YARMOUTH has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Herringby itself, go to Statistics.
