Using this Guide

This is a guide to rate books and valuation lists drawn up for civil rating purposes (excluding church rates), held at the RBA. It is arranged in alphabetical order by the place covered.

Whilst some items are on microform, others will need to be requested from the strongrooms. Covering dates only are provided here, so you will need to check the catalogue to see the precise dates.

For some places, complete annual sets are available; for others, five or ten year samples were retained, and for some a random number have survived. To order specific items, please look up the references given in the appropriate catalogue. If you have any questions, just ask staff for advice.

If you would like to visit the office to carry out your research, please make an appointment.

General introduction to rates

Rates were a local tax on property, paid by the occupier. Rates could be levied by a number of local authorities. As the power passed from one body to another, older records were sometimes also transferred, so rating records may be found apparently inconsistently in many different archive collections. The earliest rates date to the medieval period and were levied to pay for specific projects such as building bridges and prisons. Church rates (excluded from this handlist) were collected by churchwardens.

Poor rates were first introduced by the Poor Law Acts of 1572 and 1601, which permitted parishes to levy a tax on property in order to fund poor relief. These were approved by the vestry meeting of parishioners, and collected by the annually elected overseers of the poor. The Poor Law Act of 1834 transferred responsibility for poor rates to the new Poor Law Unions’ Boards of Guardians. Responsibility for valuation passed to them in 1862.

Borough, Urban and Rural District Councils were all authorised to levy and collect rates to pay for council services.

Area Assessment Committees replaced the Poor Law Unions for valuation purposes under the Rating and Valuation Act 1925, covering one or more Rating Authority Areas and dealing with disputes over valuations. Members were delegated from each of the local authorities in the area, the Boards of Guardians (until 1930), and Berkshire County Council. In 1950 the Committees were superseded by new Rating Panels under the provisions of the Local Government Act 1948.

From the 1950s, valuation lists were prepared by the government’s District Valuation Offices, although they continued to be collected by local authorities. Under the General Rate Act 1967, valuations were based on the nominal rental value of the property.

The Local Government Finance Act 1988 (coming into force in 1990) replaced the rating system replaced for domestic premises by the Community Charge (popularly, the ‘poll tax’), a flat charge on individuals, which was itself replaced in 1993 by Council Tax, levied on the value of property assessed in broad bands. Business premises continue to be rated. However, no Berkshire rating records have been deposited at the Record Office later than the 1970s.

Legislation

The Poor Relief Act 1597 introduced regular poor rates in every parish, administered by the Overseers of the Poor; it was amended slightly in 1601.

The Poor Law Amendment Act 1834 introduced Poor Law Unions; the individual parish overseers were still responsible for rating matters.

The Parochial Assessment Act 1836 stated that rates were to be levied on rateable value of property, namely the reasonable rent expected after deduction for expense, rather than on the gross value.

The Union Assessment Committee Acts 1862 and 1864 required valuation lists to be compiled by the parish overseers (who

continued to collect rates). Committees of the Poor Law Unions dealt with disputes over rateable value.

The Public Health Act 1875 permitted the levying of general district rates by Urban Sanitary Authorities to finance lighting and drainage schemes in towns, based on the poor rate valuations.

Subsequent legislation extended this ability to County Councils and Rural and Urban District Councils.

The Agricultural Rates Act 1896 allowed agricultural land to be rated at half its value for poor rates and a quarter for district rates. From 1928 industrial and freight transport hereditaments were rated at a quarter of their value.

The Rating and Valuation Act 1925 transferred rating powers from the overseers to Urban and Rural District Councils (boroughs were usually also UDCs). Poor rates, borough rates and general district rates were replaced by a single general rate from 1 April 1927, and provisions were made for quinquennial revaluation, although in

practice new valuations were made in 1934, 1956, 1963 and 1973.

The Local Government Act 1948 abolished Assessment Committees and transferred responsibility for valuation to the Inland Revenue.

The Rating and Valuation Act 1961 ordered assessments to be revised to reflect current values, but agricultural land was to be exempt.

Much of the existing legislation was consolidated by the General Rate Act 1967, which was then repealed by the Local Government Finance Act 1988.
