Beddlested (Kent)

Drawing showing the area around Beddlested in Kent. This sheet is made from several pieces of thin, irregularly cut paper joined together. As a result, the drawing is elongated and has a section missing. A line of dense interlining ('hachuring') along the centre of the map denotes a steep ridge. Written on the reverse of this drawing is "Rags of Kent Sketches by Geo. Pink Royal Military Surveying Draftsman 1789". This may be a retrospective inscription, as the RMSD were not formed until 1798. A Roman camp is shown in the left hand portion of the drawing. The recording of archaeological sites was not obligatory until 1816, but many draughtsmen showed their interest by recording them prior to this date. Pink, George

Sevenoaks (Kent) 16

This drawing records the field boundaries and woodland surrounding the towns of Sevenoaks and Kingsdown in Kent. Cultivated land is indicated by a striped pattern, purposely aping the furrows of actual tilled land. Precise instructions for the arrangement of these lines were given in the military manuals. For example, adjacent fields could not have stripes running in the same direction. An 'Old Roman Camp' is recorded on Ightham Common. Pink, George

Penshurst (Kent)

1 : 21120 Drawing showing the area to the west of Penshurst in Kent. The lack of hill sketching suggests this is an intermediate version rather than a completed drawing. Woodland is indicated by meticulous renderings of individual trees. Stone walls, indicated in red ink, mark field boundaries. A pest house ("Pest Ho") is noted to the left of Sevenoaks Common. The pest house provided shelter for people afflicted by plague and other infectious diseases at a safe distance from the densely populated town.

Eynsford (Kent)

This drawing, showing the area around Eynsford in Kent, is covered by a network of red rays, radiating from fixed points marking triangulation stations. These stations, usually sites of relative physical eminence, provided a framework within which to survey the topography of the land. On this plan, red lines radiate from the village church of Ash, marked by a red cross, and from an obelisk in Lullingstone Park. On the far left of the drawing, the word "flag" represents another triangulation point, from which the surveyor took angular measurements. Handwritten annotations at the bottom of the drawing refer to area measurements. There are some corrections in ink Pink, George

Tonbridge (Kent)(002OSD000000005U00352000)

1 : 21120 Drawing showing the area around Tonbridge in Kent. Annotations in ink confirm these drawings as being field sketches. The loose nature of the hill sketching contrasts with that of later, finished drawings. A cross marked Bluborough indicates an observation station from which angular measurements were taken during the surveying.

Tonbridge (Kent)(002OSD000000005U00354000)

1 : 21120 Drawing showing the area around Tonbridge in Kent. The lack of hill sketching on this drawing suggests an intermediate rather than a finished plan. Field boundaries, woodland and buildings are intricately presented. Individual trees are meticulously drawn along the avenue in Knowle Park. Measurements in ink are given in the bottom left of this drawing. A triangulation diagram appears on the reverse of the manuscript. This was used by the draughtsman to plot topographical features.

Sevenoaks (Kent)

1 : 21120 Drawing showing the area to the southwest of Sevenoaks. A note in the bottom right corner confirms that this is a field sketch. The loose drawing style contrasts greatly with the later, more finished drawings.

Penshurst Park, Kent

1 : 21120 Drawing of the area around Penshurst Park, to the west of Tonbridge in Kent. Although this field sketch appears loosely drawn, it includes carefully observed details such as the layout of avenues of trees in Penshurst Park itself.
