Land Tax Assessments 1800-1809

While the Land Tax Assessments only list heads of household in the parish, they do provide an annual listing of properties, owners and tenants in a period where such information may be otherwise difficult to find. The total assessment for the parish remained 137 pounds 12 shillings throughout the 52-year period, 1780-1832, that this set of assessments spans based on valuations of 1692 and the tax assessments for individual properties may bear little resemblance to the actual rents paid for the properties in the period 1780-1832. Still, the assessments can be useful for relative comparisons of property values.

Property and name spellings were not standardized in this timeframe and the assessments contain a huge variety of variant and deviant spellings therefore the tables below display standardized spellings to help in searching and sorting. However, such standardization could have introduced errors in its own right. Also, property names were not specified until 1794 but, since the assessments remained the same, we were able to derive the property names for the earlier years from the 1794 names.
