Images of the 1876 Littlebury’s Directory entry for Newton in Clodock are given below.
Observations:
The Directory gives population, area, rateable value, types of crops and other details of the township. There is a Primitive Methodist chapel here.
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.
