This is Blackbourn Hundred in Suffolk.
The Blackbourn hundred, in the North Western part of Suffolk, is about 15 miles in length from east to west, and from 7 to 10 miles in breadth. It is bounded on the north, by the Little Ouse River, which separates it from Norfolk. It is intersected by the River Thet and several smaller streams. The navigable river Lark forms a part of its western boundary, and the Little Ouse is navigable to Thetford. Here is a start to Blackbourn. Quoting from the Whites 1844 Directory.
