If you haven't heard of these before, don't worry. They are tucked away at Kew (in class IR 58). They cover the years 1910-1914, and list all the properties in England, who owns them, who lives in them, and whether they have been sold recently.
They are also known as 'Domesday Books', because of their similarity in content with William the Conqueror's original Domesday Book.
