Subject: RE: Tithe map of Witney? - our ref. 11475
Ref: 14.2.P/RH/4561
Dear Mr Kelly
Thank you for your enquiry concerning the Witney Tithe map.
We hold the original Witney tithe map and it is dated (very clearly, I'm glad to say!) 1840 (ref: 436). The map, of which you have a scan, is also held here and is a certified copy with a tithe commission stamp in the top right hand corner dated 4 August 1841 (ref: Misc. Witney I/i/2). The hand written date is therefore, presumably,1841 but quite why they changed it from 1840 when the map is meant to be a true copy of the original I really don't know.
We also hold the tithe apportionment which will give the location of John Biggers's property. Unfortunately the apportionment is too large to scan. We can transcribe his entry for you if you would like us to do so but will have to charge a research fee of ?12.50 to cover 1/2 hour's research time. If you would like us to proceed, please write to the address below and enclose a STERLING cheque made payable to 'Oxfordshire County Council'. Thank you.
