Description of Enumeration District:
That Part of the Parish of Sheriffhales which lies in the County of
Salop. This part of the Parish contains much land which is planted
with timber, and which will perhaps account for the comparitive fewness
of its inhabitants.
Note. It is a very scattered district, one or two houses standing
here and there, in all parts of it. It extends about 4 and a half
miles from North to South and 2 and a half from East to West. Consequently
- much ground has to be traversed in order to visit every house in the
district.
Salop begins here and continues to end of Sub District. (Sheriffhales
has two other districts, both in Staffordshire.)
