Tithe Maps of Victorian Cheshire

Post by PhilD »

Almost 500 Cheshire tithe maps are now available online. Together with the information recorded in tithe apportionments, they are a unique record of land ownership, occupancy and use in Cheshire 150 years ago.

You can use them to answer questions such as:

Where did your ancestors live?
Who lived in your village or even your house?
What was land in your area used for?
Who owned land in your area?
You can also compare the tithe maps with later Ordnance Survey maps and aerial photographs.
