The properties of each landowner were grouped
together in the schedule, irrespective of their location. The property
numbering, however, starts at 1 in the centre of Ramsbottom, and proceeds
geographically to finish in Tottington village, and is therefore not in order in
the schedule. District names like CRIB O’TH’CREW do not appear to have been
entered consistently, so that if none appears for some pages, a false impression
can be given that all those entries belong in that place. The only copies of the
tithe map are at Bury Archives, the Lancashire Record Office (DRM 1/98) and the
Public Record Office at Kew, but schedules survive only with the latter two.
