Description: | Tithes ended with the Tithe Commutation Act 1836, which replaced tithes with a rent charge decided by a Tithe Commission, hence the tithe maps. At first this commutation reduced problems to the ultimate payers by folding tithes in with rents. However, the decline of large landowners led tenants to become freeholders and again have to pay directly, as well as renewed objections of the principle by non-Anglicans meant that the rent charges paid to landowners were converted by the Tithe Act 1936 to annuities paid to the state through the Tithe Redemption Commission. The payments were transferred in 1960 to the Board of Inland Revenue, and finally terminated by the Finance Act 1977. Tithe Reference Books are like tithe awards and contain the names of the landowner, land occupier, tithe plan number, property description, description of state of cultivation, size of property in acres, rods and perches, rent charge payable to the vicar and to the impropriator. Tithe Rental Books contain similar information, but also payments made.
