THE 1695 ENGLISH WINDOW TAX
The window tax was a property tax based on the number of windows in a house. It was a significant
social, cultural, and architectural force in England, France, Ireland and Scotland during the 18th and
19th centuries. To avoid the tax some houses from the period can be seen to have bricked-up
window-spaces (ready to be glazed or reglazed at a later date). In England and Wales it was
introduced in 1696 and was repealed in 1851, 156 years after first being introduced. France
(established 1798, repealed 1926) and Scotland both had window taxes for similar reasons.
