The maps can contain hundreds of individual plots with varying levels of detail. They can reveal buildings, fields, houses, rivers, lakes, woods and cities.
The next stage of this project is to digitise the many colour tithe maps held by the TNA and partner Archives. These will link to the same schedules in a similar manner.
