Anthony Aufrere I was Anthony Aufrere III (1757-1833), of Old Foulsham Hall, Norfolk, the antiquary.

Rev. Anthony Aufrere I (1704-1781) was a scholar at Westminster School, and a gentleman-commoner of Oriel College, Oxford, where he took the degrees of B.A. and M.A. He was ordained a clergyman of the Church of England in 1728, and was presented to the Rectory of Heigham, near Norwich, by Archbishop Wake of Canterbury. He married twice, firstly to Susanna de Gastine/Castine (1708-1731) and secondly to Mary Cutting (1690-1750) (Mrs Mary Smith), the daughter and heiress of Giles Cutting (son of William Cutting of Hoveton) and widow of Alderman Smith of Norwich. (Burke's Dictionary of the Landed Gentry, Addenda, Vol.3, 1853, p.326[2]). In 1689 Giles Cutting, Attorney-at-law, purchased a lease of the manor of Hoveton from John Paynel. (An Essay Towards a Topographical History of the County of Norfolk ..., Volume 3 By Francis Blomefield, 1769, p.576[3])
