"DENVER is a small village, 1½ mile S. of Downham, including in its parish 910 inhabitants, 2,976 acres of land, and the hamlets of DENVER SLUICE and SALTER'S LODE, distant about one mile W. of Denver on the river Ouse; the former at the mouth of the New Bedford river, or 100 feet drain, and the latter at the confluence of the Old Bedford river; both navigable for small craft, and having sluice-gates and locks. . . . The parish is in two manors, called East and West Hall, of which Edward Roger Pratt, Esq., is lord; but J.R. Fryer, Esq., (of Crow-Hall,) and Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, have large estates here; and the latter has the patronage of the CHURCH, (St. Mary,) a small stuccoed building with a tower, a small spire, and five bells. The rectory, valued in the King's Book at £10 13s. 4d., and in 1831 at £898, is in two medieties, called St. Peter's, Easthall, and St. Michael's, Westhall. The Rev. S.E. Smith is the incumbent."

There may be more people living in detached parts of the parish (if there were any) and, if so, the number may or may not be included in the figures above. It is quite difficult to be sure from the population tables.
