| As well as
the upland areas with scattered sheep farms and lead mines Llanwnog parish
included the village of Caersws. Th published report which came after the
1841 census states that the population figure included 198 people in the
workhouse at Caersws. The graph reveals that after a slight fall the population rose slightly at the middle of the Victorian period and then fell sharply. Compare these figures with Carno and Trefeglwys. Is the overall trend the same? Why did the population fall away at the end of Victoria's reign? Why do you think Llanwnog increased in population in the middle of her reign? |
