Window Tax History
Bricked-up windows on Georgian and early Victorian buildings can be the visible legacy of Britain’s Window Tax. Introduced in 1696, it charged households based on how many windows they had—so people literally blocked them up to pay less. The tax was repealed in 1851, but the streets still carry the evidence in their brickwork: blank rectangles, altered symmetry, and façades that don’t quite add up. ##WindowTax##GeorgianBritain##HiddenBritain##BritishArchitecture##londonhistory

The Window Tax was far more complex than a simple per-window charge. It began with a flat rate per house, then added escalating surcharges for homes with more than ten windows. By 1766, the threshold was lowered so that houses with just seven windows faced extra tax. This precise structure is why so many middle-class homes, not just grand estates, feature bricked-up windows. The push for repeal gained momentum in the early 19th century as physicians linked poorly ventilated, light-deprived homes
