East and West Dean Methodist baptism registers (General)

Whilst transcribing the above Methodist baptism registers the area covered seems to be the same for both areas.

East Dean baptisms 'place of residence' were Joys Green, Hansley, Reddings, High Beech, Pludds, (all around Lydbrook)plus a few others, whilst the vast majority of West Dean so far (just over half) are 'Lydbrook', which puzzled me, as it is the same area.

They certainly do not correspond with the CoE ex par parishes of the same names.

Can anyone clarify this.
