description: The first poor rate was imposed by an act of 1597-1598. However this was re-enacted in the 1601 Act for the Relief of the Poor that introduced compulsory rating throughout the country. Rate books were compiled in order to keep a record of each person's assessment and whether or not it had been paid. Once the principle of compulsory rating had been adopted it was used to raise money for all sorts of purposes besides the relief of the poor. These included repair and maintenance of highways, bridges, gaols, sewers, and general improvements.
