First published in 1976, this book studies the impact of a uniquely
unpopular tax on English rural communities. It examines the tithe
system during a period when it was subject to mounting attack from
political economists, agricultural improvers and radicals alike.
Professor Evans has made extensive use of ecclesiastical and estate
records to explain why the tithe issue became so unpopular at this
time. He also studies in detail the work of the tithe commission,
offering new evidence on the important question of how much the
tithe system hindered agricultural improvement. This was in a
period of considerable strain for the old village community, when
tithe disputes significantly added to existing tensions and,
particularly in the south of England, helped bring relations to
crisis point.
