Alresford 19

1 : 31680 Relief is indicated on this plan by shading and interlining ('hachuring'). The concern with depicting relief accurately reflects the military emphasis of these drawings: knowledge of the lie of the land could greatly help the efficient movement of regiments. The right-hand side of the drawing is unfinished, featuring main roads only.

Kingsclere

There were no definitive guidelines in the early 1800s for recording relief, so each draughtsman differs in his representation. Contour lines were not introduced until 1839-40. Here, Budgen uses dense clusters of short, dark strokes ('hachures') to indicate relief. Although the recording of archaeological sites did not become obligatory until 1816, he also illustrates a Roman road, running diagonally upwards from the lower left of the map, noting its local name: 'Devil's Bank'. Budgen, Charles

Bentworth

1 : 31680 This is a rough plot, or field sketch, of the chalk hills to the south of Basingstoke, part of Hampshire's North Downs. Buildings appear infilled and blocked in red ink at the settlements of Bighton and Chawton, at the bottom of the plan, and in black ink, at Bentworth, above Chawton. The map is drawn on an irregularly cut sheet that is pieced together with detail extending over the joins. The paper carries the watermark '1794.'

Bishop's Waltham, Southampton

This drawing was completed in 1806. The detail with which it records the road network is greater than in previous maps - testimony to the Ordnance Survey's urgency and military intent. The Roman road from Winchester to Old Sarum is marked running from the top left of the map, with smaller sections of the road shown in the Chilworth area. The origin and terminus of these roads are also noted. A line with a circle at each end leads from the margins of the map to Morstead. This line was used to plot locations and landmarks. Several "Ancient Entrenchments" are marked, notably an iron-age hillfort near Winchester called St. Catherine's Hill. The fort is indicated by concentric rings of dark, cross-hatched strokes ('hachures'). Week Turnpike Gate is marked on the road between Week and Winchester. The recording of a dog kennel above Little Sombourne and bathing houses on the coast between Southampton and Redbridge reveal the meticulousness of the Survey, and perhaps too the interests of the draughtsman. Crocker, Edmund

Andover

This drawing delineates the county border of Hampshire and Wiltshire. The boundary is marked as a red pecked line and follows the path of main roads and field boundaries. At Fullerton, the River Test branches into its tributaries. The draughtsman names each river and canal and depicts their various intersections. Main communication routes are tinted yellow, with the road near Doles Wood at the top of the plan marked "TG", meaning toll gate. Attention paid to communication routes is evidence of the military focus of the survey. Several archaeological sites are marked in this area, with the neighbouring hillforts of Sidbury and Quarley indicated by concentric rings towards the top left of the map. Varying shades of green are used to distinguish forests and meadows.

Hungerford

This drawing describes the borders of the counties of Berkshire, Hampshire and Wiltshire. Their boundaries are marked by red pecked lines, as a note at the base of the drawing explains. The draughtsman has detailed the star-shaped path formation of Savernake Forest, a great royal hunting forest, and recorded the Roman road between Marton and Titcombe. Chisbury, an iron-age hillfort, is marked by concentric rings to the right of Savernake Forest, although the recording of archaeological features did not become obligatory until 1816. To the left of Shalbourne, a windmill is shown in elevation.

Alresford 7

Pencil rays radiate from the centre of several circles on this plan. These were used to measure the distance between fixed points in the surveyed area. Calculations are faintly visible on the left edge of the drawing. The paper is watermarked "E & P", Standing for Edmeads and Pine. The numerical annotations running alongside the main road indicate the distance in miles from Alresford to Bishop's Sutton. Like all major communications routes in the Survey, This road is tinted yellow.

Alton

1 : 31680 This map depicts a part of Hampshire's North Downs, particularly the chalk hills to the south of Basingstoke. Buildings appear infilled and blocked in red ink at the main settlements of Basingstoke, at the top of the plan, and Alton, at the bottom. Hewitt, John

Blendworth

.The county boundary with Sussex is marked on the right edge of this drawing by a black pecked line. Although this drawing predates the obligatory recording of archaeological sites, Roman remains and Rowland's Castle are represented to the bottom right. Ancient burial mounds are marked in many places by a circle and the word 'Tumulas'. Fir trees are marked at Draxford, to the central left of the map, the draughtsman distinguishing between these coniferous trees and deciduous ones. A large compass-drawn circle with a marked radius appears at the top of the drawing. Crocker, Edmund
