This is one of a number of reviews of the 1849 Tithe Registers, which look at the village layout and tenancies at that time, contrasting with the next main checkpoint of the 1918 Auction. The review is based on the tithe-holder name, looking at the various plots that make up their tithe commitment. The blue dots on the various tithe areas highlight the allocated tithes. See here for an index to the other tithe records in a similar format.

At this time Harry Brierly appeared to be resident in the main village of Kings Newnham, with his father Edward farming at Newnham Hall. He had an extensive holding in the parish, as detailed in the charts and map below. See also the Newnham village map for more precise details in the village area. The relationships between the three main families in the village – the Brierly family, the Worth family and the Townsend family were to further develop over the next half-century, so the allocation of lands to the various village farms would change ahead of the 1918 auction.
