There may be more people living in detached parts of the parish (if there
were any) and, if so, the number may or may not be included in the figures
above. It is quite difficult to be sure from the population tables.
- 1861 Census
- "ST. FAITHS. The decrease of population in most of the parishes
comprised in the District of St. Faiths is attributed to the
migration of labourers and their families to the manufacturing
districts."
