Description: These Devon parish tax records provide details on thousands of Devonians who are otherwise unrecorded.
The documents printed in this volume comprise parish tax records for parishes across Devon. These rates not only show the range of taxes payable in the county but also show how differently they were organised from one parish to another. The documents have been drawn from archives in Devon, London and Somerset and have not been previously published. This series will provide details on thousands of Devonians who are otherwise unrecorded.Brief description: TODD GRAY MBE is Research Fellow at the University of Exeter and the author or editor of a number of volumes on Exeter and Devon including William Birchynshaw's Map of Exeter, 1743 and The Chronicle of Exeter, 1205-1722.
