The Hearth Tax Project was established from the Roehampton Hearth Tax Centre, and is supported by the British Academy. It aims to publish through the British Record Society the fullest surviving return for each county (where one has not already been published) together with a scholarly introduction analysing the economic structure, social profile and population density of each county.
Four volumes have already been published and sixteen are currently in preparation.We welcome enquiries on all aspects of the Project’s work, and aim to disseminate research on the Hearth Tax for the benefit of local, national and international communities.
