The rural landscape of England and Wales in the mid-nineteenth
century is minutely depicted in the large-scale plans and schedules
drawn for the Tithe Commissioners. Among other features shown on
the maps are field boundaries and rights of way, whilst the
accompanying schedules record the names of owners and occupiers,
field names, land use and area. The amount of detailed information
they provide, together with their uniformity, place the surveys as
the most complete record of the agrarian landscape at any period.
This book describes the nature of tithe payments, the Tithe
Commutation Act of 1836 and the survey of over 11,000 parishes. The
uses made of the surveys for reconstructing early field systems,
for tracing land use and understanding farming practices, are
systematically considered, The abstraction, computer processing and
mapping of vast quantities of data are discussed.
