 Parliamentary Survey of Cornwall was undertaken in 1649 to 1650 ( latter years of the civil wars) to record and value all the lands in the Duchy that had been owned by the Crown-  presumably after the execution of King Charles I - but before the wars were concluded and the Commonwealth  was in power.

 No Pomeorys listed as land or property owners in  Linkinhorne,  North Hill, or Stoke Climsland,  South Hill, or Lezant- Carnedon Prior, Climsland Prior, Rillaton

 It lists all persons over the age of 16 years liable to pay tax. It would appear that the ordinary person had to pay 1/- (5p), whereas the persons with more land paid more.

Obviously John Lampen at Padreda (now Patrieda) was considered very wealthy.

The Hearth Tax was an attempt to tax people according to their wealth, working on the principle that the wealthier they were the more hearth’s they would have in their home.

The tax and variants were in existence for several decades but records for Linkinhorne only exist for 1662 and 1664.

It was often found that people had stopped up hearths after the first taxation in order to reduce their tax.  

Notes that refer to the differences between the two collections are only mentioned where they involve named people.

Edward Robert  in 1663-4 was a Gentleman with a large propery in Linkinghorne  possibly called  Henwoode and a cottage & 1acre in Linkinhorne he had  as a freeholder so he had tenents for this.

Edward Roberts esq married Mary Pomeroy 24 Aug 1723 at  Linkinhorne -

 1663-4 hearth tax - Edward ROBERTS  is recorded as a Gentleman who paid tax on ex = extra?? 5 hearths - the second assessment names his son Henry so the presumption could be that Edward died sometime in that year HOWEVER  this would appear to be a different man from the one who married Mary Pomeroy 59 years later so possibly a grandson of the gent with 5 or more hearths.
