THE TITHE MAP OF CHIDDINGSTONEChiddingstone Parish was mapped in two parts in 1840 following the Tithe Act of 1836. These two maps showed the north and south part of the parish (divided by the River Eden). The originals are line drawings in a very bad state of repair and are almost illegible but can be found at the Centre for Kentish Studies in Maidstone. A colour map - based on these original has recently been published. It is too large to show here in its entirety but a small section is shown below.
If you would like to get a full size (100 cm x 70 cm B1) copy of the map along with a listing of all the names of fields, owners and tenants in Chiddingstone in 1840 then send an e-mail to [email protected]
