Welcome

Welcome

The  subscription you have just paid will help us provide talks on history topics and subsidise our research costs. At 8 pm on the third Wednesday of the month we provide a history talk by an external speaker. In normal times the talks, free for members and £3 for non-members, would have been held  St Paul’s Church Hall on the Green in Tadley but during the crisis we had to move all meetings and talks online and to allow non-members and friends free access. December is an exception where we hold the AGM and an online quiz evening that is available for members only.

You are joining  us at an exciting time. A year ago the Society was considering closing because of falling membership and a lack of active members but we have now turned the corner. As you may be aware we are in the process of improving our online presence and are working hard to provide member only content.  We also have a Facebook page  https://www.facebook.com/TadleyHistory and Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/tadshistory .  As a member you will receive the monthly news-letter and personal invites to the monthly talks.

 

While the majority of the members are happy with the news letters, website and history talks we are always looking for more active members willing to help with local history research. The society has been investigating the Lost village of Tadley for twenty years but we are suddenly making very rapid progress using modern approaches such as LIDAR and modern map technology to overlay old maps on top of current satellite images of Tadley. We are investigating the path of the Roman Portway and creating a timeline for every family, field and dwelling the local area. In the coming year we are collaborating with two students from Reading University  to make local geophysics measurements.

If active local history research appeals to you, then contact me at steve@tilliebean.com  and we can discuss how you can become further involved. Otherwise, enjoy the talks and I hope to meet you in person whenever conditions return to normal.

 

Regards Steve

  • Hampshire Tithe Maps –The History of Maps
    • Tithe Maps The first tithes can be traced back to the 9th century and King Ethelwulf of Wessex. A tithe was an ‘in kind’ payment made to the local church, typically 10% of an individual’s produce.  As this was typically stock or crop, great tithe barns were built by local monasteries or churches in which to collect tithes within the parish; many of these barns still survive around the county today. In 1836 the Tithe Commutation Act made it possible to pay tithes in cash, equivalent to 10% of an individual’s produce. This legislation required that detailed maps be drawn up on order to identify land ownership and use within the parish. Each map was supported by a  document called the tithe apportionment, which detailed the owners, the nature of the land they possessed and the rent charges they were liable to pay. Three copies of each map were made. The first was held by the tithe commissioners and later passed to the Inland Revenue. These copies are now in the care of the National Archives. The second would be kept in the diocesan registry and the third in the local parish church. More often than not it is the diocesan copy that passed to HRO. Almost the entire county is represented in the HRO – only five parishes are without tithe maps. Although they were drawn up to depict private land ownership rather than highways, tithe maps give us a very good idea of road and track networks in the parish in the early 19th century. These are usually depicted as physical features and don’t always indicate whether or not routes were public or private, or byways or bridleways. However, sometimes they may inadvertently show routes that were considered public on account of the fact that they aren’t privately owned.
    • Enclosure Maps The process of enclosing England’s field systems  was not an overnight one; many parts of the countryside were enclosed hundreds of years before others. This was often done by private arrangement or legal agreement and it wasn’t until the 1801 Inclosure Act and the 1845 General Act that the process became formalised. Under these acts, commissioners allotted land to individual landowners. Maps and awards were created to detail the changes, and these documents often provide excellent information about land use. Unfortunately, as many parishes had already been enclosed by private agreement before the act, often no formal maps exist.  However, where they exist they provide an important record and carry the most evidential weight when identifying lost routes, as they were drawn up as a legal record of public highways as well as land ownership. The traditional spelling was Inclosure, but as you are no doubt aware, Enclosure has become a more popular variation. The Record Office primarily uses Enclosure, so that spelling will be used for the rest of this guide. That said, if a computer search of their catalogue doesn’t turn much up, consider trying both spellings.
    • Highway Handover Maps In 1929 the responsibility for county highways was passed from district and borough councils to the county council. For the purposes of the transfer, public highway ‘handover’ maps were drawn up to identify all of the public highways within the county. These were based on existing OS maps and supposedly edited to mark public highways – from A-roads to footpaths. However, these maps suffer from several flaws – most particularly that often, if a right of way was not surfaced, it was often not recorded. A right of way marked on these maps is very good evidence, but many public highways that existed both before and after the handover are not marked either. Also, this document did not have the benefit of any sort of public consultation or scrutiny so may be said to carry less  evidential weight than others.
    • Ordnance Survey It’s often forgotten that the first OS maps were drawn up for military purposes (a fact reflected in the name – ordnance being another word for ammunition). After successfully mapping the Scottish Highlands in order to organise the subjection of the clans there, the Board of Ordnance (now the MoD) began a full survey of the country. The very first OS map, covering Kent at a scale of 1 inch to 1 mile, was produced in 1801. However it would be more than half a century before the rest of the British Isles were complete. The new Ordnance Survey was based in the Tower of London until a fire forced them to relocate. In 1841 they moved into the old cavalry barracks on London Road in Southampton where they remained until German bombing during the Second World War forced the offices to disperse. In 1969 they returned to Southampton in the purpose built headquarters in Shirley and in 2010 they began moving to new offices on the city’s outskirts near the M271. A more thorough history of their work is available on their website.
