1782 Survey of New Shoreham
An identification of the land and properties, their owners and occupiers in New Shoreham using the original, numbered map and the Survey schedule describing the property and naming the owners. These have been matched to the Land Tax records for the same year to identify the occupiers. For ease of recognition the original order of the Schedule (no apparent order) has been rearranged into street order. To each entry for the owners has been added any subsequent changes in the months or years following that were made to the original Schedule, but unfortunately not dated, by the officials of the time. Where the Survey map is overlaid on to the modern map the buildings on them do not always exactly match as the former is not precisely drawn but nevertheless is still a useful aid to identification.
