==Maps==
The map (and schedule) held by the commissioners passed to the [[Inland Revenue]] and these are now held in the [[The National Archives]] at Kew<ref>Foot, p.20</ref> (classe IR29 and IR30). Although the maps do not always survive, the local copy is now usualy held in the county record office. Prior to the publication of large scale [[Ordnance Survey]] maps in the late nineteenth century, tithe maps were frequently copied (in whole or part) for other purposes - for example to accompany planned railways or as part of the title deeds for a sale. For many parishes they provide the only large scale map showing the landscape prior to the [[industrial revolution]]<ref>Harley, p.35</ref> and they frequently provide the earliest evidence for the [[field system]] in the parish.
