Durham Tithes Database, 1270-1536

This research was initiated as part of ESRC-funded doctoral work, continued under an Institute of Historical Research and Economic History Society postdoctoral fellowship, and developed under an ESRC research grant. The aim of the project was to use tithe data to estimate agricultural output for one region of England during the middle ages. These estimates were then used to assess the impact of crises including war with Scotland and the Black Death. They were also used to examine the relationship between producers and the market.
