This week's edition of #TithePlanTuesday takes us to Laxey Village in 1862. Shown here are the lands belonging to Captain Richard Rowe, Manager of the Great Laxey Mining Company. #ManxArchives #IsleOfMan #LaxeyWheel

The dimensions of each parcel of land (in acres, roods and perches) are shown. The land borders the sea, which is delineated in blue inks.

This week's #TithePlanTuesday comes from the parish of Ballaugh. In 1840, Ellan Rhennee and Ballakeoge belonged to James Wilks, son of Elizabeth Christian and the Reverend James Wilks (described by A.W. Moore in Manx Worthies as 'the ablest Manx clergyman of his time'). #ManxArchives #IsleOfMan

Colour photograph of a Tithe Plan of Ballagarey Farm dating from 1835. The plan shows the full extent of the land owned by N. Lockhart Esq, with the dimensions of each plot given in acres, roods and perches. The farmhouse itself is shown; it is close to the main road between Peel and Douglas.

Colour photograph of detail of the same Tithe Plan, focusing on the farm buildings close to the road. The owner's lands extend from both sides of the road.

As it's #ManxGrandPrix race week, this week's #TithePlanTuesday comes to you from a notorious section of the TT course! In 1835, Ballagarey Farm was owned by a Scottish lawyer, Norman Lockhart. This plan shows the usage of each field - crops, clover, pasture, and meadow. #ManxArchives #IsleOfMan

Colour photograph of a hand-drawn plan titled 'Plan and Survey of Coopers Mill and premises at the top of Peel Harbour in the parish of Patrick belonging to the poor'. The mill site is shown as being on the right side of the River Neb with the mill dam immediately south of it. There is a ford across the river opposite the dam. A note at the foot of the plan says that this land was surveyed January 9th 1864 by William Kaighin.

Section of 1868 Ordnance Survey map (IX.6) showing Cooper's Mill. Here it is named 'Flour Mill' but contemporary sources describe it as a 'water corn mill'. The Rope Works are shown south of the mill dam.

Maps and plans help us to visualise places when physical traces no longer remain. This Asylum Plan shows us Cooper's Mill in Peel in 1864. The buildings shown here date from 1859, when the mill was rebuilt after a fire. #TithePlanTuesday #IndustrialArchaeology #ManxArchives

Photograph of a large and colourful tithe plan unfolded and displayed in full (the plan is bound in a volume). The plan is of lands collectively titled Balla-Carnane Moor, the property of Mr J. Cannell. Thet surveyor has added decorative touches in yellow and green, including foliage, two peacocks, and two male heads, one wearing a crown and the other, some manner of feathered ceremonial headdress.

Photograph of plan detail showing a pair of yellow and green peacocks perching above a kind of dais, mirroring each other, surrounded by foliage. The peacocks each hold a leaf in their beak.

Photograph of plan detail showing the heads of two bearded gentlemen who are wearing large and fantastical headgear. Above them is a tree with delicate foliage, sprouting from a heart-shaped base. The surnames Thompson and Christian have been written next to the faces; these names do not correspond to any landowners' names on the plan.

This week's #TithePlanTuesday comes to you from the parish of Michael. Isn't this 1839 plan of Ballacarnane Moar wonderful? Surveyor Patrick Kelly typically embellished his work in this fashion when the land-holding was sizeable and the landowner of some standing. #ManxArchives #IsleOfMan

Colour photograph of a small plan dated 21st January 1864 and drawn by Philip Mylrea. The plan gives an overview of three cottages - the property of the Trustees of St Mark's - which are adjacent to St Mark's Churchyard. The site of St Mark's Fairground is shown as immediately south of the cottages.

Colour photograph of a plan and survey of the Glebe of St Mark's. The plan is described as having been drawn by William Cowley in 1841 (or possibly 1847) with alterations by Philip Mylrea in 1862. Land-holdings are coloured green; roads and tracks are in yellow. The measurements of each land-holding are given in acres, roods and perches. The village church and schoolhouse are shown.

For this week's #TithePlanTuesday, we're in St Mark's in Malew parish. The village fair is still held on the site below the church cottages. In May 1880, a reporter at the fair commented that "rival manure merchants and the sellers of 'jough' (ale)" saw the liveliest trade. #ManxArchives #IsleOfMan

Photograph of a Tithe Plan titled 'A Plan and Survey of the Lord-Bishop's Courrough in the Parish of Ballaugh'. The plan shows a single area of turbary and meadow land, with its shape, dimensions, and the names of bordering landowners.

Photograph of a Tithe Plan showing a turbary belonging to Mr Thomas Nelson. The land-holding is divided into six parts labelled 'a' to 'g', with an overall measurement of four acres, one rood and 31 perches. The names of the neighbouring landowners are shown. The plan dates from 1833.

It's #TithePlanTuesday, which this week comes to you from Ballaugh Curraghs. Depicted are privately-owned turbaries: pieces of land where peat or turf could be dug for fuel. The first plan dates from 1826, making it one of the oldest records of its type in our archive. #ManxArchives #IsleOfMan
