Explore Historic Land Use Patterns Using Ordnance Survey 6-Inch First Edition Maps
What were Tithe Maps?
Tithe Maps were parish-level land surveys drawn between 1836 and the 1850s to assess tithe payments—originally made in agricultural produce but converted to money under the Tithe Commutation Act of 1836 . Each map was accompanied by a written schedule listing landowners, occupiers, field names, land use, and acreages.
Why Are Tithe Maps Important?
For Family Historians: Tithe records often mention named individuals and the land they worked, offering valuable clues about ancestors’ locations and livelihoods.For Metal Detectorists & Researchers: These maps show field names, trackways, and historic land use patterns that align with areas of archaeological interest. Field names can hint at smithies, mills, ancient rights of way and more.
A Note About Map Coverage
We do not hold the original Tithe Maps , but many of the features described in our records can be clearly identified on our highly detailed, high-resolution Ordnance Survey 6-Inch First Edition maps , published from the 1840s to the 1890s .
These maps provide exceptional topographic detail, showing field boundaries, footpaths, buildings, tree lines and more—making them a powerful proxy for understanding historic land use.
?? Tip: Select this layer to explore historical land patterns and compare them with the archaeological features in the ARCHI database.

LiDAR has become one of archaeology’s most exciting tools for uncovering the secrets of lost civilisations and hidden treasures buried beneath our feet. By firing thousands of laser pulses per second from aircraft or drones, LiDAR creates high-resolution 3D maps of the ground surface—even through dense woodland or overgrown landscapes. This technology has led to the discovery of long-forgotten hillforts, Roman roads, medieval settlements, and even prehistoric burial mounds that have lain undetected for centuries.
In some cases, entire ancient landscapes—complete with field systems, trackways, and ritual enclosures—have been revealed, offering a glimpse into how people lived and moved through the land. These hidden earthworks often point the way to sites where valuable artefacts and historically important treasures might still lie buried. From uncovering the footprints of lost villages wiped out by plague, to spotting Iron Age tribal boundaries etched into the soil, LiDAR is helping us rediscover the rich tapestry of human history that still survives, just beneath the surface.
Archaeological site distribution maps are an essential tool for understanding how ancient communities were organised across the landscape. Rather than looking at single sites in isolation, these maps allow researchers, students, and history enthusiasts to see broader settlement patterns, trade networks, defensive clusters, and sacred zones that can stretch across entire counties or regions. By analysing where sites are densely clustered—or conspicuously absent—we gain insight into how geography, climate, and access to resources influenced human behaviour over thousands of years.
These maps are also vital for conservation and responsible planning, helping identify areas where development should be approached with caution. For archaeologists, they’re a starting point for hypothesis testing—where predictive modelling might reveal new, unexplored sites. For local historians and educators, they offer a visual way to connect people to their own heritage, showing how their town or village fits into the grander story of Britain’s past. When layered with LiDAR or historic maps, distribution maps become even more powerful, making hidden or eroded landscapes legible again.
Detailed Victorian and Georgian Ordnance Survey maps are a goldmine for both artefact hunters and family historians. These richly detailed maps capture Britain’s evolving landscape from the early 19th to mid-20th centuries, showing now-vanished hamlets, rural schools, nonconformist chapels, farms, workhouses, toll roads, and rail sidings—features that were often central to everyday life but have since disappeared. For genealogists, they offer a way to trace the physical environment ancestors lived in, worked on, or moved through—making it possible to walk the same routes and stand in the same locations families once did.
When cross-referenced with census returns, parish records, or old directories, these OS maps allow researchers to build an incredibly vivid picture of where a family lived and what their surroundings were like. They’re particularly useful for pinpointing properties mentioned in 19th-century documents that no longer exist. And when combined with archaeological and LiDAR data, they can even help identify the deeper historical layers beneath a known ancestral home—such as whether it was built on or near a former Roman road, medieval trackway, or ancient field system. In this way, these old maps connect personal heritage with the wider historical landscape.
Detailed Victorian and Georgian Ordnance Survey maps are an exceptional resource for anyone trying to locate artefacts or understand the historical use of a landscape. These maps often reveal lost features that no longer appear on modern maps—such as quarries, footpaths, wells, toll roads, lime kilns, field boundaries, and buildings that have long since disappeared. These forgotten features are precisely where artefacts and other archaeological remains are most likely to be found.
For detectorists, historians, and field archaeologists, these maps act as a time machine—offering a glimpse of Britain’s landscape before the industrial sprawl and modern development erased key traces of the past. When overlaid with LiDAR or used alongside archaeological site data, OS maps from the 19th and early 20th centuries help triangulate search areas with remarkable accuracy. They also highlight human activity hotspots—places where artefacts such as coins, tools, pottery, or even ritual items might still lie just beneath the surface, waiting to be rediscovered.
Aerial photography is a powerful archaeological tool that helps reveal traces of ancient human activity often invisible at ground level. One of the most important features captured in aerial surveys is the appearance of cropmarks —subtle variations in crop growth that occur when buried features such as ditches, walls, roads, or pits affect the moisture and nutrients in the soil above them. These patterns become especially visible during dry summers, when crops over a filled-in ditch may grow taller and greener, while those over a buried stone wall may appear stunted or yellowed.
Cropmarks often betray the outlines of Roman villas, prehistoric enclosures, Iron Age field systems, or even Saxon burial sites. Aerial images taken over decades allow researchers to piece together layers of land use, showing how the countryside evolved—from early farming practices to medieval field arrangements and beyond. For those studying local history or mapping ancestral landscapes, aerial photography helps explain why fields are shaped the way they are, why certain paths persist, and where significant human activity once took place. When used with LiDAR and historic OS maps, aerial imagery completes a multi-dimensional picture of Britain’s richly layered past.
