The Tithe Act of 1936, passed into law on the 31st of July 1936, it marked the effective end of the traditional tithe system in England. Liability for tithes was transferred from individual landowners to a central fund, with compensation paid to the Church through government-issued stock. The Act brought to a close centuries of locally administered tithe collection, reflecting broader twentieth-century shifts in agricultural economics, church finance, and the relationship between the state and the Church of England.
