The parish comprises 1,033 acres of land, and 65 of water. Real property, £1,581. Pop., 228. Houses, 48. The property is divided among a few. ...
The manor belongs to G. Tomline, Esq. Levington Hall is the seat of T. Robinson, Esq. Shell sand was first used here in 1718, and continues to be used, for manuring. The living is a rectory, annexed to the rectory of Nacton, in the diocese of Norwich. The church is a brick structure, with a tower. There are alms houses for three persons of Levington and three of Nacton, and other clarities £15. There was anciently a lazar-house.
