I wondering if anyone can tell me if it is possible and, if so, how to trace land records from 17th and early 18th century. Edward WILLIAMS vicar of Chepstow who died in 1692 had the following estate -

Moiety of the Tythe of Hardwick and Chepstow .
Freehold Estates in Houses Garden Orchards and Lands situate and being in the Parishes of Chepstow and Lanvaches in the said County of Monmouth.
Estate in Cardiganshire.

What exactly does Moiety of the Tythe mean? I take it to mean an income not actually physical land?

Was there any form of transfer of Title/Deed to land when it was sold that early?
