The hearth tax was collected in each parish between 1662 and 1689. The
occupiers, not the owners of the house were required to pay 2 shillings per
hearth (fireplace) per year, in two installments. Persons too poor were
exempt as well as occupiers of houses worth under 20 shillings, normally
these did not have a fireplace. After 1664 the hearth tax was collected from
households with more than two hearths.
Overall, the list gives us an idea of the number and relative sizes of the
houses in Stithians Parish during this period. However, some caution should
be exercised, as outbuildings associated with the house may also have had
hearths.
Once again the list was provided by Chrissy Parker, my favourite OPC.
