Talk:Lenham, Kent

Land Tax
Examination of the original bundles compared to the 1987 microfilm description which in turn informed the catalogue entry in the Family History Library it is clear that the information provided is fairly crude. The Parish area here is extensive and the period 1780-1832 includes several lathes and hundreds within the parish area.

The presentation of images is unsophisticated and the initial information provided in England, Kent, Land Tax Assessments (FamilySearch Historical Records) lacks any explanation of the reason for a series of records in an area which overlaps such court and tax boundaries.

Further research to develop a simple explanation of the records surviving and reason for a series of image presentations is necessary for this and many other parishes.Penshurst 08:48, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
