Leighton parish was originally a part of Worthen parish. The figures shown here are just for the Montgomeryshire part.
Leighton is a rural parish across the river Severn from Welshpool. Most of the inhabitants were probably workers on the Leighton Hall estate, but Leighton was close enough to Welshpool for locals to travel into the town for work.
