STAPLE FITZPAINE
HEARTH TAX
1664-1665
(transcribed by Tanya Melhuish)
In 1664 Charles II declared to exact a tax of two
shillings on every Hearth. This tax was very unpopular, but was not abolished
till the reign of William and Mary.
Exemption from Hearth Tax was given to those whose houses were not of greater value of 20 Shillings per
annum and whose goods were not of greater value than ten pounds per
annum, and the said houses had not
above two chimneys
