Rector of Salle, Norfolk, was intituted 9 December 1670 which finished 1708 after his death. His patrons for that were Francis Earle, widow of Erasmus Earle, Martin Earle, gentleman of Heydon (another transcription apparently has Francis Haile, widow of Martin Haile, gentleman of Raydon), and Jacob (or James) Long, of Swanisthrop. The predecessor of Samuel in Salle was Roger Howman. Vicar of Saxthorp, 1671-1708. Died 1708. This was under the patronage of Pembroke college. His predecessor was Francis Grigg.

will: Flacke, Samuel, clerk, of Salle 1708 ANW, will register, 1707-1708, fo. 300. The burial registration at Sall on 1st June 1708 can be seen on 60 of the online scan. The will was made 6 June 1705. It shows that he possessed a lease of property in Scottow, held from John Lord Bishop of Norwich, and also the perpetual advowsons of Congham St Marys and Congham St Andrews and Great Fransham. He had also purchased lands from Charles Spilman of Congham, Clerk. (The Spilmans or Spelmans were predecessors of his son Richard as rector at Congham, and well known old family in Norfolk.) He refers to his son as Richard Flacke of Great Fransham, Clerk (although he was already rector in Congham in 1706 it seems). Although he passes these advowsons to Richard he says the next time one of them needs to be used, Bridget should get the decision.
