The Hearth Tax (1662-89) is the only national listing of people between the medieval poll taxes and the 19th century census returns. It was a property tax, assumed to approximate to the householders' wealth, measured by the number of their fireplaces.

But there is no suggestion that it was "ringfenced' for the upkeep of roads.
