Introduction[edit | edit source]

There are multiple land and property records available in Oxfordshire. The Oxfordshire History Centre has published their collection of District Valuation maps and valuation books for the historic county of Oxfordshire. The District Valuation survey was taken between 1910-1915. These records list who the owner and occupier of each property were. The maps show the boundaries of different parcels of land; the valuation books provide details of the owner and occupier and the payable rates. Take note that the survey was based on the parish, not the hamlet.
