Shalfleet Parish Poor
Rate -1821
The poor-rate was originally
a form of local income tax, but over time evolved into the rating system
— a property tax based on the value of real estate. In general, the
poor-rate was paid by the tenant of a property rather than its owner.
I have transcribed the following from the
Poor Rate Book for Shalfleet Parish, and accept no responsibility for its
accuracy.
