Counting Chimneys : The Health Tax in Lincolnshire
The Hearth Tax, also known as hearth money, chimney tax, or chimney money was imposed by Parliament in 1662, to provide a regular source of income for the newly restored mnoach, King Charles II, and the Exchequer. The British Record Society (BRS) began publishing its series on Hearth Tax records in 1995. The Lincolnshire Volume in the series is being prepared in conjunction with the Lincoln Record Society and the SLHA Building recording Group (RUBL). This one day conference will provide a background to the importance of the Hearth Tax along with the latest research for the Lincolnshire Volume
