West Ashton Tithe Map
Tithe map for West Ashton 1840
Produced as a ‘one off' as a result of the Tithe Commutation Act of 1836, tithe maps are the second most important category of map we hold. Most parishes in the county have one, and very often they are the earliest large scale map to survive. Their scale is sufficient to show most topographical features, including individual buildings. They come with an accompanying text which records the name of the owner and occupier of each numbered plot shown on the map, acreage and land use.
Scale 2½ inches to 330 yards.
