The census returns contain the name and denomination of each place of worship, the date of consecration or erection, the space available for public worship, total attendance on 30th March 1851 and the average attendances in the previous year.

The originals are held at National Archives Kew reference HO129/383-393. How to use the handlist This handlist is divided into three sections.
