Worcestershire Tithe and Inclosure Map Project

Welcome to the Worcestershire on-line Tithe and Inclosure project.

This project provides on-line access to digitised 18th and 19th century maps in the county, together with their attached documentary evidence.  Together, these transform flat maps into a powerful searchable research tool.  

Only a part of the capabilities of the system can be demonstrated on-line. The full system, showing tithe and inclosure maps with all the information held on the Historic Environment Record, is available at the offices of the Historic Environment and Archaeology Service.  

This site is continually being developed and new maps added.  The links below give access to an internet mapping system for viewing modern and historic maps, and to information about why the original maps were created.  The Badsey GIS links to a separate site containing further historical information about the parishes of Badsey and Aldington.  

The link to the quesionnaire allows you to give us your feedback on how easy, or otherwise, you found the site to use.  Please use it!  Your comments help us to develop this site.  

A broadband connection is recommended in order to speed the downloading of the maps.  Worcestershire Libraries provide free access to broadband computers.
