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 occupiers, 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 tithe map and apportionment shows the village and surrounding area of Alton.
