Illustration by C. J. Staniland (1838-1916) from Cassell's Century Edition History of England, pub circa 1901 Tithes were resented by poor Catholics, as they were for the upkeep of the Protestant church, Generally avoided by the wealthy, the burden fell on the poorest, since if you left your land as pasture you paid no tax, but if you tilled the soil you immediately owed tax.
