1798 Land Tax Register
A national Land Tax was first introduced in 1692 and from 1780 it was used as a basis for lists of voters who were those paying a tax on freehold property of £2 or more per yesr. For the 1798 Act 38 Geo. III c.5 land register was set up listing landowners and occupiers of land subject to tax, the amount assessed and sometimes a redemption date. The ledgers are held at The National Archives, Kew and the document reference for the Hereford register is IR23/32.
