Houses and Households

In the following listing, we have generally identified houses by their present-day names. However, in the case of unnamed dwellings that have been demolished and not replaced, we have mostly used the names of former residents (eg "Days"). Where new buildings have been erected in place of the old, we have called the previous houses by their present names (eg The Red House).

The page numbers are those used in the survey.
