This was the home of many a CHILVER, in fact the use of this name continued much longer here than in other parts of Norfolk. I will hazard a guess that most people with the CHILVER surname, (as opposed to CHILVERS), would be able to trace their ancestors to this area in the South of Norfolk.
If anyone wishes to know more of the CHILVER of Thorpe Abbotts or can contribute to the growing family tree I'm sure that Iris would be very pleased to hear from them.
