I know exactly what you mean, OC. I also know that when I started, I was told to read all the explanatory text, and couldn't be bothered to.

It grieves me that explanation of enumeration districts isn't always available, nor the statistics pages, which I have sometimes checked to ensure nothing has been omitted.

We once visited Hamworthy church (on spec, which you should never do!) and the vicar, besides showing us the relevant entry, also gave us the history of the church and showed us the list of parishioners supplying their own labour to rebuild the church. Not something that fits into a standard search.
