This 1986 book reconstructs elements of mid-nineteenth-century rural landscapes and farming systems by analysing the wealth of quantitative data which these tithe surveys contain, communicated cartographically by a set of 582 computer-generated maps, and statistically by a series of tables. The book also reveals the richness and variety of written evidence which the 14,829 parish tithe files (P.R.O. Class IR 18) contain, by means of analytical place and subject indexes for each English and Welsh county (some 200,000 entries in all) and by essays in which themes commonly encountered in the tithe file papers of each county are described. These sections of the book will be an essential tool for historians and historical geographers.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e Eastern counties\u003cbr\u003e Southern counties\u003cbr\u003e South-Western counties\u003cbr\u003e Western counties\u003cbr\u003e North-Western counties\u003cbr\u003e Northern counties\u003cbr\u003e Midland counties\u003cbr\u003e Wales\u003cbr\u003e England and Wales\u003cbr\u003e Place index\u003cbr\u003e Subject index\u003cbr\u003e Epilogue.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Public finance [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Public finance\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Public%20finance%20%5BKFFD%5D%22\"\u003eKFFD\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46004423229720,"sku":"9780521071543","price":54.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521071543i.jpg?v=1694969197","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/an-atlas-and-index-of-the-tithe-files-of-mid-nineteenth-century-england-and-wales-paperback-9780521071543","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
