THE TITHE APPLOTMENT BOOKS | ||||||||||||||||||
"The Tithe Applotment Books span the period 1823-1838, and were compiled to calculate the amount of tax payable by landowners in Ireland. This record was taken in all parishes, with the exception of towns and cities, to provide for the payment of tithes to the clergy of The Church of Ireland, the established church until 1869. This survey lists all landowners in a parish, including the name of the townland, size of holdings, land-quality, and types of crops. The tithe payable by each landowner was based on all these factors, and calculated by a formula using the average price of wheat and oats from 1816-23. Because this tax had to be paid by everyone, not just members of the Church of Ireland, it was deeply unpopular, and there were instances of violent resistance. The majority of the people were impoverished tenants already faced with heavy rents payable to their landlord. Because some parishes were surveyed twice, a person's name might be repeated several years apart." Source; Introduction to the CD index to The Tithes Applotment Books |
