In 1856 the Poor Law Guardians in Cambridge resolved upon a survey and valuation of rateable property in the parishes of their union. The survey was carried out by Richard Harwood and John Rolfe Mann. Its findings form MSS.Add.5730-5745. An earlier assessment of land in Cambridgeshire, MSS.Add.5717-5729, was partly the work of Thomas Utton.
Lists of landholders, tithe particulars, poor rates, rate assessments and valuations for the various parts of Cambridgeshire.
MSS.Add.5718-5719, 5722-5724 and 5726-5745 were purchased by J. Whitaker at the sale of the effects of G.J. Smith. MSS.Add.5717, 5720, 5721 and 5725 were purchased from Mr G.J. Smith, 1911; MSS.Add.5718-5719, 5722-5724 and 5726-5745 were purchased from J. Whitaker, 1913.
