http://bacchronicle.homestead.com/1851census.htmlPOPULATION FIGURES AND SPREAD BETWEEN THE THREE PARISHES
As can be seen from the table and pie-charts the total population for the Village of Leverstock Green in 1851 was 746 spread between 155 households. This was split between the three parishes unevenly, with the greater proportion almost half- being within St. Michaels. As the original Manor of Westwick, focused along Westwick Row was also within St. Michaels this is hardly surprising, with larger numbers of dwellings other than the major farm houses having developed either along Westwick Row or alongside the green in the central area of the village to the north of the Berkhamsted Highway. (Today's A4147)
These figures for the village were to remain fairly static until the post-war years and the development of the Newtown, with the census of 1931 showing a total figure of 804. Much higher numbers were reported at the latter part of the 19th century when Leverstock Green parish was first formed and covered a very wide geographical area including Nash Mills, Apsley and present day Adeyfield as well as Leverstock Green Village.
Those members of the population within the parishes of Abbots Langley & Hemel Hempstead were generally based at the major farmsteads such as Leverstock Green Farm, Northend Farm, Wells Farm, Cox Pond, Woodlane End, Tile Kiln & Bennetts End Farms. The major exception being the meagre houses which had grown up in the Tile Kiln and
Belconey (or Balcony)area largely to service the growing Brick & Tile Industry.
