SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC HISTORY 



TABLE OF POPULATION 

 1801 1901 



1 Ancient County. The County is defined by the Act 7 & 8 Viet. cap. 61, which altered Sussex to the following 

 extent : Added to it the Tithings of North Ambersham and South Ambersham (from Hampshire). In addition to 

 these changes part of Bramshott Ancient Parish viz. Bohunt Farm was transferred from Sussex to Hampshire, 

 with which County it had always been returned. A small part of Horsmonden Parish (area only at the 1901 Census) 

 is in Sussex, but the whole is shown for convenience in Kent. 



The population given for 1811 excludes 2,470 militia, who were not assigned to their respective Parishes. (Ste 

 also notes to Alfold, Bramshott, Broomhill, West Blatchington, Frant, and St. Mary Bulverhythe.) 



' Arundel. Extensive building works were in progress at the time of the 1871 Census; they included the erection 

 of a Roman Catholic Church. 



8 Climping. Barracks were established in this parish between 1851 and 1861 ; the military seem to have been 

 mainly removed between 1861 and 1871. 



4 Alfold. The remainder is in Surrey (Blackheath Hundred, First Division), where the entire population is 

 shown 1801-1831 and 1851. 



It seems probable that the detached Hamlet of Buddington, which really belongs to Bignor Parish, was wrongly 

 returned with Eastbourne Parish in 1801 ; the latter Parish completely surrounds it.
