Parish Audit
We finished an audit of our parish in February 2005, using the 2001 census and information collected on a series of parish walks. You can download it but the pdf is over 8MB so it will take a very long time if you only have a dial-up modem connection. You will need Adobe Reader to view it, if you don’t already have it installed.
