An account of the parish church of Skeyton.

From The Wesleyan Methodist Magazine, Volume 9, Third Series, January 1830, page 50.

"On October 9th, at SKEYTON, a beautiful little chapel, 28 feet by 17, was opened by the Rev. Messrs. A.E. Farrar and Titus Close; and on the following Sunday, by the Rev. Messrs. William Kelk and Isaac Denison. The whole expense of the erection is £100; towards which about £30 was subscribed and collected. This village was visited by the Preachers in 1784, and at intervals ever since. About four years ago, a hired room was fitted up for the accommodation of the people. It was well attended, and sinners brought to God in it. Having now entered a place, superior in every respect, we hope that greater things will be effected in the name of the Lord."

Population

These figures are from the population tables which were produced after the 10-yearly national censuses. The "Families" heading includes families and single occupiers.

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.
