The Tithe Map of Yardley Parish 1843
These maps have been scanned from photographic copies in Birmingham Central Library's Local Studies and History Department, with permission. They may be used for private study, but not distributed, placed on any other website, or used for any commercial gain, without the permission of the owners being provided in writing.
The maps appear in the following order: from left to right along the top of the original, i.e. south to north on the western side of the Parish, then from left to right along the bottom of the map, i.e. the eastern side from south to north. There are a few smaller maps which fill in some gaps in the large ones.
Place names and lane names, but not those of main roads, streams or rivers, have been included to assist with identifying which map may be of interest. The plot numbers can be used to search the Tithe Apportionment, using the Edit/Find function, and the landowner, tenant, field name and field size can be discovered. If a cell is blank, scroll up the page to find the name which applies. Please go to the Field numbers in order page from here, and follow the instructions there.
Please click on the thumbnails to see the maps at full size. The images are very large files, and may take some time to display. If they appear initially at a small size, place the mouse over the image until a button appears at the bottom right-hand corner of the image, and click that.
