Description:Description: Tithe Maps and Apportionments are invaluable for the history of villages, properties, families, agriculture and landscape in England and Wales in the period 1837 - 1852 .
Each piece of land or property has a reference number drawn on the map itself, which is also recorded in the accompanying apportionment or schedule.
In the schedule the following details are given: name of landowner and occupier, description of property , acreage and finally amount of rent charge payable.
Tithe maps are usually drawn at a large scale of six chains (1 chain = 22 yards) to one inch.
This shows the Chapel at Bagnall, and the surrounding area.
