Observations:

Local farmers are named. The area, population, rateable value, main crops, geology, county court arrangements and other details of the Parish are given. The architecture of the church is described. RRWR Trafford is Lord of the Manor; he and Mrs Herbert Howorth Wood are chief landowners.
