Cheadle Staffordshire - 1836 survey
This is a downloadable PDF file, Produced and transcribed by Dianne Shenton
This Book was discovered in the back of the cupboard under the stairs in Cheadle Town Council
Offices where it had lain forgotten. As of February 2015 it is still at the Council Offices but I hope it
will be deposited at Stafford Record Office.
The book has divided Cheadle into its’ four quarters i.e. Above Park, Grange, Cheadle and
Huntley. Each Quarter is then listed numerically, so I have transcribed them into a spread sheet
and sorted it alphabetically on the Owners. At first I assumed that the numbers were just entry
numbers, as there was no explanation, however as I worked through I realised that although the
numbers were listed following a numerical order they were not necessarily consecutive.
List of Occupiers at the back.
Various suggestions were made and so I compared the 1836 Survey with the 1842 Tithe Awards
(Doc Ref D1278/1-2) at Stafford Record Office and also with the 1837 Valuation and Rate Book
(Doc Ref D233/A/PO/1) again at Stafford Record Office.
Both these books had plot names sufficiently similar to indicate that the same numbers were used
for all. Tithe Maps can be viewed in Lichfield Record Office (Doc Ref B/A/15/81) Please note the
quarter of Cheadle as there are four maps, one for each quarter.
Where more than one owner or occupier appears under one plot number I have entered them
separately and added the area of the plot divided by the number of occupiers as represented by a
fraction. Eg 2 houses on one plot will be represented by ½ or 4 houses will be 1/4.
Agistment appears many times. Amongst the Oxford English Dictionary definitions it gives - Any
rate charged upon Pasture Land and especially the tithe paid to the Vicar or Rector by the
occupier. (1527)
