B1. Tithe Applotment Records 1824-1838 (FIN
5A)
The Composition Act of 1823 specified that tithes due to the
Established Church, which had been payaeble in kind, should now be
paid in money. As a result it was necessary to carry out a valuation
of the entire country, parish by parish, in order to determine how
much would be payable by each landowner. The Tithe Applotment Books
list the occupiers of titheable land and are not a list of
householders as is the case in a census.
