It seems fitting today to look at a church record that is named after Easter. For those with UK ancestors, you may want to check out Easter books or sometimes called Easter Rolls. This tithe was collected on Easter from the mid 16th century to 1836 (Wright).
The following are some resources that describe this tithe. You can also look at the Family History Library Catalog for microfilmed copies of these rolls.
