At that time the population was just over 1,000. Of these people:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">About 38% were 14 or under and most of those were of school age.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">About 29% were 15 or over and had no employment. Many of these would have been housewives looking after home and family.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">About 33% were working.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Of those that were working 45% worked on the land whilst 55% had a range of other jobs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The Victorian age saw a boom in the economy nationwide and Martham was no different. A new class of workers and tradesmen were emerging that were often self employed and provided services like plumbing, painting, carpentry and building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">By <em><a href=\"https:\/\/marthamnorfolk.co.uk\/?page_id=11443\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">1891<\/a><\/em> the population, according to the census, had increased by 18% to 1,182.
