FROM THE ST.STEPHEN IN BRANNEL LAND TAX REDEMPTIONS - 1799:
     The Land Tax was introduced in 1692 and was a tax on the land which
people owned. Land Tax assessments are a record of all taxpayers in each
parish or township, and give the names of the owner and occupiers of the
land, a description of the property and the tax levied. From 1780 to 1832
the assessments were the only means of listing voters, with those who
owned property worth two pounds or more annually qualifying to vote.
     From 1798 landowners were able to redeem the tax with a payment equal
to 15 years tax, and the Land Tax Redemption Certificates describe the
property, the occupiers and the sum redeemed. However, the names of these
owners remained in the assessments for voting purposes.
