In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Weston Beggard like this:
WESTON-BEGGARD, a parish, with a village, in the district and county of Hereford; 2 miles W by S of Stoke-Edith r. station, and 5½ E by N of Hereford. Post-tow, Hereford. Acres, 934. Real property, £1,771. Pop. in 1851, 267; in 1861, 372. Houses, 71. The increase of pop. arose from the temporary presence of railway labourers. The property is subdivided. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Hereford. Value, £130. Patrons, the Dean and Chapter of H. The church is plain; and there is a national school.
