What can be found in the Valuation Office Archives?

I have viewed perambulation books on microfilm at the NAI, but I do not know how many survive.

Thanks i will contact the Valuation office and ask them to do a search so and see what they come up with. Anyone got a link to a good guide as to the basis for land and "measures" valuations for houses.
I have read the following links -

General Note
Field Books
House Books
Tenure Books
Quarto Books


From here-

However something more detailed than it would be great.

The VO do not have perambulation books, as they are in the NAI on microfilm.

You go to the VO for the revision books, sometime known as the "cancelled" books.

When I ordered on line it was six weeks before I received the documents, but well worth the wait.
