Norfolk: Ashill 1824-1826 - Churchwardens' Rate

Ashill raised money at various times, to either support its poor (from the Overseers' Rate) or to pay for other parish expenses (from the Churchwardens' Rate). This rate was levied on the occupiers (who may not have owned the land) and based upon the value of the property (which was usually a rental valuation). Both occupiers and owners are found living in and outside the parish.

For more information on these records see the Parish Accounts page.

This is one item from a Norfolk Record Office document [with the reference PD 548/53 and microform MF 718/6] containing the Churchwardens' rates book for 1824-1880.

Notes

In other rate documents the following alternative spellings have been seen which appear to refer to the same people/places:-
Bearing/Baring, Ofield/Oldfield?
Where one person is in occupation of more than one property their final bill follows the lines of "-------" (assessments). e.g. Robert Flood would pay 6d on the valuation of 1 pound and 1s/3d on the valuation of 2 pound 10s giving a total of 1s/9d.
