Thrandeston : 1873 Modern Domesday

( Show general information )

The two-volume Return of Owners of Land, 1873 is a survey of land ownership in the United Kingdom. It was the first complete picture of the distribution of land ownership in Great Britain since the Domesday Book of 1086, and so the 1873 Return is sometimes called the ‘Modern Domesday’. It was published and sold for 10s 6d each in two leather-bound volumes (edited by John Lambert).
It was started in 1872, and the Local Government Board ordered to compile a list of landowners from ratings records. One return was prepared for England and Wales (excluding London), and separate returns were prepared for Scotland (in 1874) and Ireland (in 1876). The Return lists holdings by size (in acres, roods and poles) and estimated yearly rental of all holdings over one acre. It is laid out by county and landowner, with an identifying address for each landowner. For landowners with extensive, scattered holdings, the address may not correspond to the land’s location and may be outside the county in question. The location of the land is not given.
In the records are name, address (will be the owner’s home address, rather than the address of the land in that county), where your they owned land, the size of land own in that county (measured in acres, rods, and perches), and the gross estimated rental value of land.

Notes:

The ‘place’ is the residence of the landowner. If a place is enclosed within brackets (), the residence of the landowner is unknown but indicates the location of the land.
There are numerous spurious names and spellings of places. Where there is anything within square brackets [] in the ‘place’, it is the transcribers best research/guess at any possible amendment to the ‘place’, based on finding the person’s ‘name’ associated with that place.
Many forenames include initials. Where there is anything within square brackets [] in the ‘name’, it is the transcribers guide to the ‘name’, based on finding the person’s name associated with that ‘place’.
Whilst everything in square brackets is hopefully correct, no guarantee can be given as to its accuracy.
Abbreviations relating to land size are: ‘A’ is acre, ‘R’ is rood, and ‘P’ is perch (40P = 1R, 4R = 1A; 1 acre = 0.404686 hectares).
According to the C.P.I. Inflation Calculator, £1 in 1873 is equavalent to £100 in 2020,
