Map of Shropshire f.93

This is a manuscript map of Shropshire, one of four in the same style and hand. Its most interesting feature is the castle shown at Clun, which dominates the town. Other topographical features are limited to hills and trees, giving a general impression of the relief of the land and its coverage. It forms part of an atlas that belonged to William Cecil Lord Burghley, Elizabeth I's Secretary of State. Burghley used this atlas to illustrate domestic matters. Here Lord Burghley has added a place name adjacent the river, near to Lent Warden. Burghley was primarily interested in communication routes, an essential feature in any defence program for an area. Rivers were the most important of these communication routes as travel by water was often the fastest. Therefore a good knowledge of the locations along a particular river was essential for navigation and ultimately for the defence of the area. William Cecil, Lord Burghley

Bishop's Castle

1 : 31680 The River Clun Valley dominates the right-hand section of this plan of Shropshire. To the left is Clun Forest, famous for the sheep of the same name. The plan shows a section of the Offa's Dike running from top left towards bottom right. Extending 176 miles along the English border from the northern Welsh coast south to Chepstow,this great earth bank is eight miles longer than Hadrian's Wall. Unlike Hadrian's Wall, it was never garrisoned. Budgen, Thomas
