- This classification is designed to permit data from
the 1801 Crop Returns to be included with data from
the annual Agricultural Census from 1866 onwards.
The 1801 Returns were highly simplified, and varied in
what they reported from one parish to another, so in
practice we can consistently identify only three individual
crops (wheat, rye and potatoes) and two pairings
("Barley and Oats", and "Peas and Beans").
Everything else has to be included in "Other".
The 1801 returns also provided limited geographical
coverage: a great many parishes were missing from the
data, and some additional parish names could not
be identified, matched more than one parish within
the named county, or lacked information on the
county they were in.
Nottinghamshire is completely missing.
County totals include data for parishes that could not
be identified.
The national total for England includes parishes with
missing county information.
The national total for England is also used as the
total for England and Wales, to permit the web site to
present comparisons with national totals, even though
the 1801 returns contain no data on Wales.
