Title: Yorkshire East Riding hearth tax 1672-3
Description: "The volumes are being produced county by county, generally in conjunction with the relevant local record society. Each volume publishes the full text of the selected hearth tax document together with a scholarly introduction complete with maps and tables. In this way they make available lists of householders, and the number of their hearths, village by village across England, making them useful to social and economic historians working on a national canvas as well as to the local historians of the counties concerned. When the mapping and analysis is completed, it will provide a bird's-eye view of the distribution and density of taxable population in England and Wales in the 1660s and 1670s. Each volume is fully indexed by name, place and subject, contains coloured and black and white maps and plates."--Publisher's description.
