BREWOOD CONSTABLEWICK HEARTH TAX 1666
The Hearth Tax or chimney-money was a payment to the king of 2s. on every hearth " in all houses paying to church and poor," first levied in 1662. It was repealed in 1689, although it was producing £170,000 a year, on account of its unpopularity, the tax being especially obnoxious because of its inquisitorial
character.
Brewood Constablewick. Hearthes Chargeable.
