Gillingstool Hill & Horseshoe Lane

1840 Tithe Map

In the late 1830’s a survey of the area was made for the purpose of calculating the amount payable to the Manor in place of the tithe.  This survey provides the earliest plan of the area covered by Horseshoe Lane and Gillingstool Hill and gives details of who owned and occupied the land, and its use at that time.  It was published in 1840 but seems to have taken two or three years to compile.  This means some information was out of date by the time it was published.

The detail accompanying the 1840 Tithe map shows:

Plot 125 - cottage and garden owned by Thomas Wise and occupied by William Wilson and William Hollister
