2001 and 2011 census and small places
I would like to point out an error that occurs in some articles on parishes in Norfolk. In the 2001 census the population of all civil parishes was reported. A decade later this ceased to be the case. In 2011 a new policy was adopted and the population of parishes of less that 100 were included with the population of a neighbouring parish. This is explained in Wikipedia articles describing parishes in other counties.

In some of your articles it is inferred that the policy for 2011 existed in 2001. Hedenham is one of the "neighbouring" parishes whose population was expanded by adding in the smaller parish of Thwaite St. Mary. Because I am unsure of "Wikipedia style", I have not changed the original but here is a paragraph describing the facts according to Census Office policy:
 * "Hedenham is a civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. It covers an area of 7.30 km2 (2.82 sq mi) and had a population of 173 in 70 households at the 2001 UK census, increasing to 240 at the 2011 UK census when the population figure included the neighbouring parish of Thwaite St. Mary (which had less that 100 inhabitants). For the purposes of local government, Hedenham falls within the District of South Norfolk."

I might also mention that it seems peculiar that most articles speak of the 2001 census (small 'c'), but many insist on "2011 Census" ten years later.

These are minor points, but I know Wikipedia likes to get its facts straight. --Oldontarian (talk) 11:12, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
