BOLTON AND GOLDTHORPE:
The Little Houghton Town Book.

Source=h:/!Genuki/RecordTranscriptions/WRY/NNixon.txt        Some numbers that are written in pencil in the margin of the copy of the Inclosure Award, refer to field numbers taken from the Tithe Book of 1839, which is also in Local Studies. These numbers have been included in the text and bracketed. Other field numbers have been added by me, (where known) to make the fields easy to identify on the Tithe Map.
