==The 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 (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. They frequently provide the earliest evidence for the [[field system]] in the parish.
