The interest of the foregoing figures lies in the fact that there was
during the first thirty years of the century a great increase in the
Hertfordshire part of the town, and scarcely any increase in the
Cambridgeshire part, whereas the tendency has now been reversed in so
remarkable a manner that against only 9 persons in Kneesworth parish,
Royston, in 1801, there are now 682.
