Highmoor was spelled Highmore until about 1950.
This Census was taken before the building of the Church (1859) and the sinking of the Well (1865).
There are 65 properties in this 1851 Census, though the Highmoor boundaries were different then and included Shepherds Green and part of Rotherfield Greys. There were six Farmers, owning from 455 down to 86 acres, they employed a varying number of men per acre. There were 141 males and 131 females (children included). Total population was 272.
There were three Carpenters and a Castrator, four Publicans, one of whom described his other work as a Papermaker, perhaps he had done this work somewhere else? As well as these Publicans there was also a Beer Shop Keeper and this may well have been at The Old Place, where Blackalls were known to live and there was once a barn at the side and much brown glass found in the garden. James Saunders (No 91) was believed to have been the publican of 'The Dog & Duck' at Highmoor. None of these Publicans are mentioned in the Victuallers Recognizes. (see Highmoor: Pubs)
John Jarrett, the Grocer/Baker (No 71) is thought to have lived next to 'The Rising Sun'. Some years later his wife, Mary Ann Jarrett, ran the village Dame School there, assisted by her daughter. There were two Shoemakers, one of whom described himself proudly as a Cordwainer. A number of people are listed as Paupers. Quite a number of children over the standard school age were described as Scholars. There is no reference to anyone at Highmoor Hall, although one Gamekeeper is listed. Also no reference to the Vicarage.
