the year 1841 - 709 people In the year 1851 - 718 In the year 1861 - 703 In the year 1871 - 709 In the year 1881 - 708 In the year 1891 - 586 In the year 1901 - 564 Like the surrounding parishes is an upland area of smaller farms. In Victorian times just about everbody in the parish would have been involved in working on the land or like the miller and the blacksmith providing a service to the farmer. Many of the children from the poorer families would have gone into service in the big houses as servants. |
