Unlike the awards in TITH 2, they were not followed by an apportionment, because the rentcharge awarded was subsequently extinguished by merger or redemption.

The first task of the Tithe Commissioners appointed under the Tithe Act 1836 was to ascertain to what extent commutation had already taken place, and enquiries to that end were directed to every parish or township listed in the census returns. The initial process in the commutation of tithes in a parish was an agreement between the tithe-owners and the landowners or, in default of an agreement, an award by the Tithe Commissioners.
