Going to Church, a Sketch Illustrative of Mr Newman's Tithe Leasing Act.
J.W. Wright. W. Read.
[n.d., c.1817.]
Coloured etching. 195 x 290mm (7¾ x 11½"), very large margins. Paper lightly age-toned.
A country family cordially greet the vicar and his wife as they walk out of a village and up a hill to the church. A satire on the Tithe Leasing Bill, introduced to Parliament by Robert Newman, MP for Bletchingley. It was an attempt to reform the tithe, a 10% (tithe being a tenth) income tax that Church tenants had to pay, which Newman claimed counter-productive in agricultural communities. His bill, suggesting it should be replaced by fixed rent, passed the commons, with the support of MPs including Henry Brougham, but was stuck down in the Lords. The system gradually ended between the Tithe Commutation Act 1836 and the Finance Act of 1977.
