Tithe Surveys are among the sources most frequently consulted by local historians and geographers, providing detailed information on parish and field boundaries, land use, farming, roads and rural settlements. " until now an accessible and systematic examination of the form, content and value of tithe records has been lacking. This new book ... fills that gap ... It is a worthy addition to Phillimore's already excellent series of guides ..." Association for Local History Tutors Bulletin
