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.
- 1801 Census
- The number of families really is given as 324.
- 1841 Census
- "The decrease of population in New Buckenham is partly
attributable to persons having left the Parish in quest
of employment."
- 1861 Census
- "GUILTCROSS. The decrease of population in most of the parishes
of this District is attributed partly to the migration of
labourers to towns and manufacturing districts. In some parishes
it has also been consequent upon the failure of hand-loom
hemp-cloth weaving."
