  • Lime Kilns in Worcestershire
    Lime Kilns in Worcestershire Nils Wilkes Acknowledgements I first began this project in September 2012 having noticed a number of limekilns annotated on the Ordnance Survey County Series First Edition maps whilst carrying out another project for the Historic Environment Record department (HER). That there had been limekilns right across Worcestershire was not something I was aware of, particularly as the county is not regarded to be a limestone region. When I came to look for books or documents relating specifically to limeburning in Worcestershire, there were none, and this intrigued me. So, in short, this document is the result of my endeavours to gather together both documentary and physical evidence of a long forgotten industry in Worcestershire. In the course of this research I have received the help of many kind people. Firstly I wish to thank staff at the Historic Environmental Record department of the Archive and Archaeological Service for their patience and assistance in helping me develop the Limekiln Database, in particular Emma Hancox, Maggi Noke and Olly Russell. I am extremely grateful to Francesca Llewellyn for her information on Stourport and Astley; Simon Wilkinson for notes on Upton-upon-Severn; Gordon Sawyer for his enthusiasm in locating sites in Strensham; David Viner (Canal and Rivers Trust) in accessing records at Ellesmere Port; Bill Lambert (Worcester and Birmingham Canal Trust) for involving me with the Tardebigge Limekilns Project; Pat Hughes for her knowledge of the lime trade in Worcester and Valerie Goodbury

  • Changes in Crop Production in East Worcestershire I54o-I867
    Changes in Crop Production in East Worcestershire I54o-I867 By J. A. YELLING N a recent issue of this R~vmw I discussed the patterns of cropping in East Worcestershire in the periods I54o-99 arid i6o0-6o, using statistics from pro- I bate inventories.~ The present paper includes an analysis of the inventories for two further periods, I670-99 and I7oo-5o, together with a comparable treatment of the I8oI and I867 crop returns. This provides a good record of long-term trends in crop combinations, and enables the main periods of change to be discerned. Some comparison is possible with figures available for other midland comities, but th.e paper is mainly concerned with internal differences in the character and chrono- logy of crop changes at the regional level. These differences reflected not only vary- ing physical conditions and economic circumstances but also the balance of com- mon field and enclosed land. The treatment of the inventories is generally similar to that in my previous paper, but some features require additional comment. In each period the study area is divided into seven regions as shown in fig. x. Three of these cover the champion district in the south whereas the others lie in the north and west, an area affected by piecemeal enclosure to varying degrees. In addition to the crude figures for these two main sub-regions, and for East Worcestershire as a whole, adjusted figures have been obtained by weighting the crop proportions for each basic region according to its crop acreage in I867. This helps to reduce the effect of regional variations in the availability of inventories.

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.
