As more become available so we will add more links to this list. If you have a transcribed copy of your parish Tithe Apportionments in an electronic format (such as an excel spreadsheet) and you would like to add it to this list then please feel free email me: s.d.hawken@exeter.ac.uk
A big thank you We would like to give a big thank you to all those involved in the transcribing of Tithe map and apportionment records. I’d especially like to thank three very experienced volunteers, Gaenor Williams, Derek Jackson and Bill Sutton for all their efforts in the transcription and for also taking on the role of managing and organising the Documentary days. I'd also like to give a massive thank you to John Draisey (County Archivist) and all his staff at the Devon Records Office for their support and assistance during the life of the project.
