Exempt from payment were those in receipt of poor relief, those inhabiting houses worth less than 20 shillings per annum and not paying parish rates, charitable institutions such as schools and almshouses, and industrial hearths with the exception of smiths forges and bakers ovens. The tax, paid by the occupier, was two shillings (equivalent to 10 pence) on each hearth and this was collected in two instalments, at Lady Day (March 25 th ) and at Michaelmas (September 29 th ).
