The survey lists the various holdings in Bilsdale Kirkham and Bilsdale Rievaulx. Each entry indicates the tennant, the dwelling, the individual fields rented and the total rent payable. Many farm names are recognisable, but some are not, or are unclear. The Bilsdale Local History Group has used these surveys to identify "lost farms"
