Tithe apportionments

The Tithe Apportionments database contains information from the Warwickshire tithe apportionments, produced after the Tithe Commutation Act of 1836. Not all our parishes have apportionments, but those that have now appear on this website and the data entry is complete. Please note that some parishes have more than one apportionment for different areas in the parish.

Calendars of Prisoners

The Calendars of Prisoners database is an index to the 'Calendars of Prisoners' or lists of those held in the County Prisons (in Warwick, Birmingham and Coventry) for trial at the Courts of Assize and the Quarter Sesions courts held in Warwick between 1800 and 1900.
