Notes:

(1) Estimate based on information from 2001 Census (showing 1,510 people in Corby's rural west ward, covering Cottingham, Middleton and East Carlton) and the 2001 electoral roll for Cottingham.

 

(2) Cottingham and Middleton combined (from 1801 Census)

 

(3) The Domesday Book records 39 households in Cottingham. It's doubtful that every household had their own home, but this gives us an estimate.

 

(4) Estimate based on an average family size of 4.68, as suggested by scholars based on a survey from 1200 AD.
