Tithes were originally a tax which required one tenth of all agricultural produce to be paid annually to support the local church and clergy. After the Reformation much land passed from the Church to lay owners who inherited entitlement to receive tithes, along with the land. By the early 19th century tithe payment in kind seemed a very out-of-date...
The major record series are: 1. Tithe apportionments (IR 29) which provide the names of landowners and occupiers, land use and tithe rentcharge 2. Tithe maps (IR 30) which show numbered plots described in the apportionments 3. Tithe files (IR 18) which contain the administrative records created while the Tithe Survey was being carried out See secti...

The tithe apportionment was the main record of how tithes were to be commuted, showing how the overall rentcharge for the district was apportioned to individual landowners on the basis of identifiable pieces of land, and how much tithe had to be paid for each plot of land. Details include names of owners and occupiers, size and use of plots of land...
The primary function of the tithe maps is to provide a graphic index or visual means of reference to the apportionments. Each piece of land liable to tithes was depicted and given a plot number, unique within that parish, by which it could be identified in the apportionment. Tithe maps are usually manuscript, and are often earlier in date than the ...
As tithes were normally commuted as part of the enclosure process, areas covered by enclosure maps often lack tithe maps and vice versa. See our guide to records of Enclosuresfor more information. For some areas no tithe maps or apportionments were made. This may have been because the amount of tithe involved was negligible, or because there was a ...
10.1 Awards and agreements
The Awards and Agreements in TITH 2(sealed originals) generally provide little more information than can be found in the apportionment. The preliminary documents reveal whether the parties acted by themselves or by attorney, and the signature of the parties: material that may interest family historians but has rarely any other significance. When an award was not followed by an apportionment because the rentcharge was subsequently extinguished by merger and/or redemption (see Deeds of Merger a...
10.2 Deeds of merger
When the landowner was also the tithe-owner, a situation was created in which an individual was effectively liable to pay tithes to himself. Such a situation was usually resolved by merging the tithes (or tithe rentcharge) in the land – that is to say, extinguishing the liability to pay tithes by virtue of being also entitled to receive them. (For a more detailed explanation of the legal term ‘merger’ see, for example, Jowitt’s Dictionary of English Law, volume 2, 2nd edition, 1977). Although...
10.3 Boundary awards
Sometimes, particularly in the early stages of commutation, the commissioners had to ascertain and define ancient boundaries between parishes or townships, or to establish new boundary lines, in order to resolve disputes between landowners. These boundary awards are in TITH 1, made under the Tithe Acts 1839 and 1840. They are usually accompanied by a plan and often include schedules of lands giving names of owners and occupiers.
The Tithe Act 1936 (26 Geo V & 1 Edw VIII, c43) was introduced following the Report of the Royal Commission on Tithe Rentcharge 1934 (whose records are in IR 101), and affected the position in three main ways: 1. It abolished all tithe rentcharges payable on land immediately before 2 October 1936 and replaced them with redemption annuities payable ...
Tithe maps show land use and ownership for a specific parish circa 1840. The map is accompanied by an apportionment which records the landowner, occupier and use for each plot of land and is linked to the map by a number.
Tithe maps were produced between 1838 and 1850 following the Tithe Commutation Act of 1836 as a part of the process to ensure that all tithes were paid with money rather than produce. There are over a thousand tithe maps; these are the most detailed maps of their period and they cover more than 95% of Wales.
