The first census in England and Wales was in 1801. The 1821 census was the first to to analyse population by age. THe 1841 was the first to give each head of household a form to fill in. No census was held in 1941 because of WWII.

During the 19th and early 20th centuries temporary influxes of hoppers added greatly to these numbers: in 1900 the vicar estimated there were 1,650 adults and a similar number of children making 3,300 in total.
