It was first collected in 1693 and continued to be collected until 1963. Before 1780 Land Tax Assessments are rare but from then until 1832 duplicates of the Land Assessments had to be lodged with the Clerk of the Peace and are to be found in County Quarter Sessions records. In 1798 the tax was fixed at 4 shillings in the pound and this was made as a permanent charge on the land. The landowners were given the choice of paying 15 years of tax in a lump sum and by 1815 one third of landowners had taken this option. Worcestershire Land Tax Returns can give: Rental value of the owner’s property. Names of owners and copyholders. Names of occupiers. Names or description of property or estate. The amounts of tax levied. Those owners exonerated from paying the tax annually.

The parish of Badsey & Aldington includes the two named villages together with part of the village of Blackminster and part of the new estate off the Offenham Road. The combined population in 2001 was in excess of 2700. The Parish hosts a number of thriving organisations, including, amongst others, the Badsey Society, which continues to research the history of the villages and those who have lived and worked in them, the Badsey Rangers Football Club, the Women's Institute and the Guides/Scouts. The Badsey Remembrance Hall provides the Parish with an excellent space for meetings and other activities and the Community News (provided through the Church) is delivered throughout the Parish. This Information Pack also includes a lot of information about local village groups that always welcome new members and volunteers. I hope that you find this pack useful, so please let us know if you think it could be improved in any way. Gary Bailey Chairman Badsey and Aldington Parish Council Contents 1.
