There were rectors of Cley for at least a century before this
roll begins with Hubert de Stanham. In the Patent Rolls of King
Henry III for the years 1225 Alexander de Bassingburn was made
rector of Cley juxta Mare.
In 1523 the church was staffed by a rector, a parish priest and two chaplains. Today the rector serves five parishes, (the Glaven Association of Parishes consisting of Blakeney, Cley, Wiveton, Glandford and Letheringsett). The rectory is in Blakeney.
