The coloured plan pre-dates the later Tithe Map and is more detailed in that it shows specific houses in pink within the later tithe number. For example 485 shows 5 adjoining properties on the 1837 Map.

We do not know when they were erected, but as they passed from Richard Gardiner to Mr. Arny at 1 1/2d of assessment in the Poor Rate Book, they could be part of the 2d. Assessment of Richard Gardiner in 1702.
So I assume Richard Gardener either leased that 95 feet long plot from Zachariah Shrapnell or he assigned it to Richard Gardiner with houses already erected between the 5th May 1697 and the start of the Poor rate Book in 1702.
The Land Tax Assessment for Tithe number 485 in 1773/4 was £3 lands and not identified with occupiers until owned by Samuel Rayner amongst all his properties in the Church Rate Book 1804-1805 at 6 houses at 1/4d each to equal 1 1/2d some of the tenants still there in 1808 when they appear to have been re-valued at 1/2d each.
1837 numbered 966, 967, 968, 969 and 970 the parts at the rear of 968 not shown on maps until the 1885 Ordnance Survey Map, in the Tithe Award Schedule also described as 5 Tenements Tithe No. 485.
In 1884 given the numbers used in the 1891 Census no. 8 to no. 13 and so were described in the 1864 Town Survey as 4 houses and 2 houses equals the six numbers 8 to 13.

This is an interesting List showing Henry Fricker owning 6,7 (Shrapnell House) which he had bought in 1858 from Henry Shrapnell. It also shows him owning 9,10 (Rialto) with Thomas Smart as tenant that he had bought in the 1865 Auction. The entry referring to late Bath, is the 5 cottages (t.no.485) which he had bought from Anne Rayner`s daughter. James Budgett owned a group of cottages on St. Margarets Hill and the reference to him as "late Budget" refers to Henry`s purchase of these.
