Old West Church, Boston, Massachusetts - The Old West Church at 131 Cambridge Street, Boston, Massachusetts, is a historic church at the edge of Beacon Hill, built in 1806 to designs by architect Asher Benjamin. It was here that the phrase "no taxation without representation" was first coined.
Religion in Switzerland - Switzerland has no country-wide state religion, though most of the cantons (except for Geneva and Neuchâtel) recognize official churches, in all cases including the Catholic Church and the Swiss Reformed Church. These churches, and in some cantons also the Old Catholic Church and Jewish congregations, are financed by official taxation of adherents.
Ennisnag - Ennisnag (Irish: Inis-Snag) is a Protestant Church that lies beside the Kings River, one mile north of Stoneyford village in County Kilkenny, Ireland. The first reference to the church is as a prebend (land gift) in the Papal taxation of 1291, hence the Catholic graveyard.
Population statistics in Sweden - In 1749, Sweden established a system for population statistics (Tabellverket) that annually presented data for important demographic events in the 2500 parishes of the country. Taxation records and church book registration were important antecedents, as were the temporal events of wars, famines, and raging epidemics.
Bagimonds Roll - Bagimonds Roll was a roll used for taxation in Scotland. In 1274 the council of Lyons imposed a tax of a tenth part of all church revenues during the six following years for the relief of the Holy Land.
