Excerpt from Census of Great Britain, 1851: Religious Worship in England and Wales
Religious parties of every denomination, in the estimates they have endeavoured to form' of their comparative strength in this country, have hitherto felt the great disadvantage resulting from the absence of official~ returns on the subject of public worship. It has been attempted, by means Of the information preserved by particular communities, in some measure to supply this deficiency, but the statistical information obtained by any one denomination has never been deemed authentic by any other and, after all the efforts made by particular bodies, it has been found that the results have been of little practical value, not Only because their accuracy was suspected, but also on account of their meagre and limited character. For the first time in the history of this country a Census of Religious Worship has been Obtained by the Government. We are now able to ascertain the entire number of places of worship, the particular sects to which they respectively belong, the number of sittings provided by each sect, and the actual attendance on a given day.
