   The population of the village is now only 66 but if the cottages near the village - recently (1938) built to replace unsanitary bldgs in the village - are included the population would be 84.
   The population of the parish in 1938 was approx. 600. Thus the population of the parish has decreased by over 40% and that of the village by over 60%.
