Tithe Map - 1837 - Kelvedon Hatch.

Before 1837, tithes were a system of parish tax where a tenth part of income earned from the production of produce, stock, wood and labour went towards the upkeep of the incumbent of the parish church. The produce was often stored in tithe barns.

Under the Tithe Commutation Act, 1836, tithes could be commuted to a rent charge. Commissioners were appointed who negotiated with landowners in the parishes and drew up detailed parish maps and schedules of landowners, occupiers and the rent payable. In the case of Kelvedon Hatch, an agreement was drawn up and dated 9th March, 1837.

The original map and schedule is now held in the Essex Record Office. A copy is held in the church safe.

Below is part of the schedule. The numbers refer to the plots of land on the original map. The land described as 'allotments' were the remaining parcels of common land which passed into the hands of private landowners. This coincided with the drawing up of the Tithe Map. Following these allotments there followed a certain amount of new building on the old common land areas especially in the south of the parish.
