By a resurvey of the Parish of Elmstead with a view of adapting the survey and valuation made in 1811 to the circumstances of the present times, it appears that several changes of occupiers have since taken place in the Parish and some alteration has been made in the mode of farming and condition of the land in consequence of the change of times and of local circumstances of which latter the principal is the removal of the garrison from Colchester - owing to these and other causes the general condition of the land may be considered as somewhat lower than in 1811 especially on the poorer soils they having afforded by inducement to the continuance of expansion modes of culture than those of better quality. But on the other hand the farmers have been anxious to increase the breadth of land under corn crops and some of the farms have got into the hands of more [?] occupiers than before; So that on the whole the quantity of produce yielding rectorial tithes cannot be said to have materially diminished but the difference of average prices must affect the value of those tithes as well as the falling off in facility of marketing.
The quantity of woodland has been decreased since 1811 by the stubbing of 12 acres (on Elmstead Hall) which are to be added to the number of titheable acres.
The glebe land is certainly not in a condition at the present moment to command so high a rent as in 1811 - it is now untenanted and in fact in the hands of the College [?].
The poor Rates at Elmstead appear to have increased since 1811 by 2 or 3d in the £ the average being then taken at 8d and now 11d in the £ on about two thirds value.
Under the circumstances it is calculated that a deduction of 10 per cent from the valuation of the tithes and of 15 per cent from that of the glebe would give their present values respectively - according to the following statements:
2695 tithable acres valued 1811 (less 10%); 12 acres to be added to the woodlands; 2707 tithable acres valued 1818; 64 1 17 glebe valued 1811 (less 15%). Annual value of rectory: £857 7s 1 1/2d.
