Sadly, tithe maps on the Genealogist are only available of the most expensive subscription, and simply I can't afford that together with all the other subscriptions I've got.
I've looked extensively at the Mills Archive - I think the prices they charge for some of their stuff is very high. Having said that, it was one of their newsletters about millers in New Zealand that prompted me to start this particular bit of research, having offered to write a piece about my uncle William Stonyer who made a significant contribution to milling in NZ. As you may begin to appreciate, this has grown in scope somewhat significantly. I too was struck by how little information is known of many of the mills I'm researching, not only at the Mills Archive, but the MMG group as well, and a secondary aim is to try and put that right.
As I live not too far from Stoke, it might be simpler for me to make a visit to the new archive later on this year; I assume that they will have the tithe apportionment maps available to view.
