This directory covers 16 English counties and North Wales. The following introduction, names and professions were extracted for Quorndon
"Quorndon is a neat and thriving village and chapelry, in the parish of Barrow upon Soar, in the same hundred as Loughborough, rather more than two miles from that town; situate at the foot of bold and rugged hills, forming part of the extensive range constituting Charnwood Forest. From the eminences, a varied and extensive prospect is obtained over a fertile and picturesque country. The prosperity and increasing population of the village are derived from the branches of stocking-weaving, and the manufacture of warp and bobbin-twist lace, which have been introduced here with great success at one of the principal establishments (Messrs Balm and Rothwells) is produced a beautiful article, called the Tatting and Mechlin lace. Machinery is also manufactured here by the Messrs Archers, who have erected a steam engine for that purpose. The places of worship are the episcopal chapel, dedicated to St Bartholomew, and one each for primitive and Wesleyan Methodists. The living is a perpetual curacy, in the gift of the vicar of Barrow: the Rev Robert Stammers is the present curate. A National School and an apprenticeship fund are the principal charities. The chapelry contained, in 1821, 1,503 inhabitants, and in 1831, 1752”
