The Manor of Bury Hall was based in Great Ellingham.
1814
In 1814, the map drawn up following the Inclosures Act implementation shows that there was a single piece of land in Deopham which was copyhold of the Manor of Bury Hall; this was located on the corner opposite what is now the entrance to Mill Farm. The Inclosures Commissioners referred to it as Piece No. 125.
Piece no 125 can be seen in context on the following full map:

Piece no 125 was the second of four pieces allotted to Edmund Badcock in the text accompanying this map. Of relevance to the Manor of Bury is the following section from the Inclosure Commissioners’ declaration:
… And whereas the said Edmund Badcock stands admitted to two acres of Land (late Squires’) which are held of the Lord of the Manor of Bury Hall in Great Ellingham by Copy of Court Roll Now we declare that the whole of his Second Allotment containing two acres and thirty five perches shall be held by the said Edmund Badcock of the Lord of the Manor of Bury Hall in Great Ellingham by Copy of Court Roll in lieu of the Copyhold Hereditaments to which the said Edmund Badcock so stands admitted and in respect of the Rights of Common appendant or appurtenant thereto ….
1878
The following advertisement for the sale of the Half Moon pub in the Norwich Mercury of June 15th 1878 refers to the fact that all of the land is freehold “except 2A. 0R. 35P. of Land which are Copyhold of the Manor of Bury Hall in Great Ellingham”.
