Other suggestions from VCH red books (not online) and elsewhere

Include a table of population from the census for any village 1801-1951 – even just including 1801, 1851, 1901 and 1951 would give a flavour of the nature of the village (VCH volume III, pp. 180-203

2001 (and 2011) population figures are available at http://neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/ (make sure you select ‘more areas’ and ‘parish’ when searching)

Or pick any topic, e.g. Roman Catholicism (vol II) or Leicestershire Industries (vol III) and add information to Wikipedia entries on named villages.
