112 tax lists for Devon for the period from 1500 to 1650. Tax lists
are a key means of understanding parish life in the 1500s and early
1600s. This collection of 112 records for towns and villages such
as Crediton and Dartmouth is published here for the first time. It
reveals those individuals who were the bedrock of their societies
and helps us in understanding how local society worked in this
period. It is through the study of these documents that we can
unravel how differently each parish was organised in the sixteenth
and early seventeenth centuries and see how people took part in
parish life. The name lists also provide rich material for family
and local historians.
