Eastington, and with Saul Parishes: Tithe Surveys and 1841 Census

Compiled by Paul Davies April 2007 Issue 1

This study has identified the ownership and occupiers of land bordering the canal in Eastington in 1839, Whitminster in 1839 and Fretherne with Saul in 1839 using the Tithe survey. A small amount of additional information has been obtained from the 1841 census for these parishes.
