There may be more people living in detached parts of the parish (if there were any) and, if so, the number may or may not be included in the figures above. It is quite difficult to be sure from the population tables.

1861 Census
"The decrease in Wramplingham parish is attributed partly to the removal of dilapidated houses, and partly to the migration of young persons."
