Lists Through the Centuries

Whilst landowners (proprietors) paid land tax they may not have owned the freehold of a property. They may also have been a copyholder or the holder of a long lease at this time[1].

Several 1712 entries were marked with an x. It may have indicated they had or hadn't paid when the assessors called.

Some 1712 names are missing as I do not have the last page of the list. However, the assessors seem to have used the same route round the parish to collect the previous year's land tax so names from 1711 that appear to follow on in the same order have been included.



Matlock:
Asesment and cirtificate made the second day of May
1712 on obedience to a Warrant from her Majesties comissioners
Appointed for putting in Execution an act of parliament
Instituted an act for Granting an aid to her majesty to bee raised
by a land tax in Great brittaine for the service of the
year 1712 : Matlock proportion being 147 : 5 : 10
