ANGMERING FARM SCHEDULES

Angmering Tithing included the central village area, Angmering Park, and Lower Barpham. Upper Barpham and Ham were in a separate tithing.

Angmering proper included the main village centre and former common fields. It included a larger number of small and large farms, and numerous houses which often had crofts or smallholds attached. The principal farms are scheduled in the same general order as in the original 1839 Apportionment, although some gathering together of family holdings into combined schedules minimises the number of schedules and maps.

The fact that a person is named as a tenant of a farm together with its farmstead, does not necessarily mean that he was living there. Only reference to census, and other sources, can confirm actual residency. No comment will be made in this part about who lived where, with ownership and tenancy taken at face value.

In few instances are farms or houses identified in a way that can be understood today. Where modern names are introduced so as to identify properties, it must be understood that the houses that existed in 1839 may have been rebuiilt, or entirely replaced, and it is the location rather than the building itself which is being named. Errors in this are possible and corrections may be needed at a later date. In many instances houses are named that cannot be identified with any particular house today, and these are in italics.

The original schedules have areas in Acres, Roods, and Perches.  A rood is1/4 acre.  A perch 1/40 of a rood. An antiquated form of measurement that is difficult to use, even without modern metrication. Therefore the areas in these tables are converted to acres and decimal parts.  In approximate conversion there are 2 ½ acres to one hectare.
