Observations:
The Directory gives population, area, rateable value, types of crops, geology, county court, election arrangements and other details of the parish. The architecture of the church [restored 1858] is described. A new school has recently been erected. FR Trumper of Hay is Lord of the Manor, and principal landowners are Thomas James Stallard-Penoyre, Esq., Thomas Lilwall and Mrs Watkins.
This directory is not comprehensive in its coverage of all farms and commercial premises in the parish at the time. Also, in the transcribed lists of properties that are named, spellings in the original have sometimes been amended to reflect more common usage. In case of doubt please refer to the image of the original entry.
