Ystradgynlais Tithe Plan and Apportionment

Copy of tithe plan and apportionment for Ystradgynlais, 1844.

Ystradgynlais was a parish in Brecknockshire, and is now part of Powys. Tithes were originally payments in kind to the church; by the 19th century, these payments were often commuted to money. In 1836 the Tithe Commission was established to create a new system of rent charges based on landowning in the parish, and between 1836 and 1852 appointed surveyors to make large-scale maps and schedules that listed all landowners and tenants and field-names in a parish, as well as the land-use of each field.
