Althorne

This drawing covers the course of the River Crouch. Field boundaries on the marshlands of New England Island and Potten Island are drawn with a waved line to distinguish them from those on dry land. The marshes were used for arable farming, especially wheat. On the right-hand side of the plan is the mouth of the Whittaker Channel. Signal houses are noted on either side, and the salt marshes are indicated by irregular lines. Budgen, Charles

A Rough Plan of the Mouth of the River Medway

This is a rough sketch of the Mouth of the Medway. It is not dated. The fortification of Sheppy and the entrance to the river Medway was not part of the 1539 defence program, prompted by the fear of an invasion from the combined forces of France and Spain after Francis I of France, and Charles V Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain signed a peace treaty in 1538. However, it was during Henry VIII’s reign the Medway was first used as a naval anchorage. By 1547 the approaches to the area were defended by block houses’ in addition to the medieval castle of Queenborough. Since the accession of the Protestant Elizabeth I in 1558 England’s relationship with Spain had deteriorated to the extent that Philip II wished to depose Elizabeth in favour of the Catholic Mary Stuart, Queen of Scotland, who had agreed to disinherit her protestant son (later James VI of Scotland and I of England) in favour of Philip. The fear that Spanish warships might raid from the Flemish ports in an attempt to destroy ships anchored in the river meant that the defence of the Medway was again under consideration in 1574.

This drawing shows the flat marshlands of Foulness Island . The draughtsman has indicated the sands by stippling and detailed the channels leading from the North Sea. The most striking feature is the sea wall, shown as a grey angular line extending along the coast and the channels. A signal staff is marked at Wakering Stairs, while the word 'Flag', indicating a trigonometric station, is marked at Aspins Head.
