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.
- 1831 Census
- "The Return of the Parish of Horsham-St. Faith, includes the
Population of Newton-St. Faith, which heretofore made a
distinct Return."
- 1841 and 1851 Censuses
- "The Return for Horsham St. Faiths includes 137 persons in 1841,
and 123 in 1851, in the St. Faiths Union Workhouse. Horsham St.
Faiths and Newton St. Faiths are consolidated. The decrease of
population in these Parishes, since 1841, is ascribed to the
removal of weavers and their families to Norwich, and to
emigration."
- 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."
- 1901 Census
- "Including Waterloo."
