Northampton

1 : 31680 This drawing covers part of the Nene Valley as the river meanders through farmland and the industries of Northamptonshire. Mills are depicted throughout the area, especially along the river's course. The staples of Northamptonshire's industry at the beginning of the 19th century were wool, lace, silk and shoemaking. With no indigenous coal supply, local industrialists relied principally upon natural resources for industrial processing, particularly wind and water. Hyett, William

Stony Stratford

1 : 31680 The county boundary of Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire is depicted to the right of the sheet as a red pecked line. It can be seen following sections of the River Ouse. Two ancient forests are also shown: the Royal Forest of Whittlewood, a medieval hunting forest, is at middle left; and Salcey Forest, the heart of the ancient woodland belt of the East Midlands, is shown at top left. A section of the Watling Street is indicated from bottom left to top right. This ancient Roman road ran from London to Wroxeter in Wales, via St. Albans and Leicester (where it intersected the Fosse Way, the Roman road from Exeter to Lincoln). Boyce

Kettering

1 : 31680 This finished drawing covers parts of Northamptonshire and Leicestershire, with Rockingham Forest to the north represented by stippled treetops. Situated between the Welland and Nene valleys, and the towns of Stamford and Kettering, the forest's varied landscape includes farmland, open pasture, villages and pockets of woodland. Boughton Hall is depicted in the middle of the sheet. Formerly a monastery, it was transformed into one of the great houses of Europe in the 17th century. Hyett, William

Towcester

1 : 31680 This drawing covers parts of Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire and Warwickshire. Different types of land use are distinguished symbolically, with relief indicated by brushstroke interlining ('hachuring'). The Watling Street is depicted down the right of the sheet forming the boundary of the surveyed area. This Roman road ran from London to Wroxeter in Wales, via St. Albans and Leicester (where it intersected the Fosse Way, the Roman road from Exeter to Lincoln).

Wellingborough

1 : 31680 This drawing covers part of the valley of the River Nene as it meanders through farmland and the cottage industries of Wellingborough and Irthlingborough. Mills are depicted throughout the area, especially along the course of the Nene. With coal absent from the area, natural resources, predominantly wind and water, were used for industrial processing. Hyett, William

Welford

Relative relief is depicted by brushwork interlining ('hachuring') and ink wash. A section of the Watling Street is shown at bottom left. This Roman road ran from London to Wroxeter in Wales, via St. Albans and Leicester (where it intersected the Fosse Way, the Roman road from Exeter to Lincoln). Triangulation points and pencil rays used to plot the survey of the region are clearly visible at the top of the sheet. Stevens, Henry

Burton Overy

1 : 31680 Light brushwork interlining ('hachuring')is used to represent the gently undulating clay vales and ridges that make up much of the area covered by this drawing. Enclosed farmland dominates the landscape. There are only small areas of woodland, indicated by dark green washes. Leicester is shown at middle left along the Fosse Way, the Roman road from Exeter to Lincoln, via Bath, Cirencester, and Leicester. Stevens, Henry

Oakham

1 : 31680 .Burley Park, at the top of the plan, and Normanton Park, at middle right ,are interesting examples of the 17th-century development of formal park landscape, characterised by regular hedgerows and fishponds. At the top of the map, north of Oakham, is the Oakham Canal. An entirely manmade waterway, this circuitous canal was opened in 1803, and passes by many Rutland villages on its way from Melton Wharf to Oakham. Boyce
