Land Tax 1785 - Angmering

Land tax was first introduced in approx 1692 and not abolished until the 1950s. The rate was usually 4/- in the pound. Annual lists were maintained and many of these still survive in the County Record Offices. The list below relates to the Land Tax assessment for Angmering for 1785 and has been transcribed by Mr N A Rogers-Davis from the transcript published in Sussex Record Society Vol. 82.

If the spellings look rather strange or inconsistent in some places, it is how they were recorded in the land tax records.
