Transcribing District Valuation Surveys

The District Valuation Surveys compiled c.1910-15 under the 1910 Finance Act are an invaluable resource for building historians, containing details of ownership, occupation, building type, and (where relevant) attached acreage, with associated maps. They survive for every parish.

 

These transcripts of key data from a score of Oxfordshire parishes were undertaken by OBR members initially as a lockdown project. They have not been independently checked, and as the originals are sometimes difficult to decipher there may be some errors. Please let us know if you spot any. Some of the transcripts include additional data from the 1911 census.

 

The project is ongoing, so please get in touch if you’d like to undertake a transcription of your parish for the OBR website. The originals (in Oxfordshire History Centre) are digitised, and available at 1910 District Valuation Survey (oxfordshirehistory.org.uk)
