The Tithe map of Ropley Parish was created in 1839. This map is a vital record for not only research into Ropley of the 1800s but also of centuries previous. It is the most high resolution map of Ropley listing individual hedgerows and road sides.  Each item is numbered and corresponds to the Awards which accompanies the map.  The  Awards list all the field, lane and place names along with tenants and landowners including the rents

The original Tithe Map and Awards are held at the Hampshire Records Office (HRO).  Images of the maps can be seen here on our website.  At present the images of the Tithe map are seperated into 9 sections.  Soon we should be able to show the map as a whole. The Awards, can be seen on request from Ropley History Network and Archive at our Archive Workshop – contact us for more details.

The Original document was created by Charles Gearing and was recently transcribed by Manni Kirchner (2022). See the transcription here on our website  This useful transcription  easily lists all field, lane and pond name in Ropley, their tenants and/or Landowner’s.
