Cromer

1 : 31680 This plan records the Norfolk coastline, famous for its remote and diverse landscape. Sweeping sandy beaches, grass-tufted dunes and tidal inlets are all depicted. Light pencil interlinings ('hachures') are used to represent the gently rolling chalkland and glacial moraines leading away from the coast. Budgen, Charles

East Dereham

1 : 31680 The western boundary of this plan is formed by the Peddars Way, a Roman road laid down circa AD61. The ruins of Castle Acre are depicted along this road. Excavations here have uncovered a unique grain-processing plant, comprising a granary, a barn, a kilnhouse, a malthouse and a brewhouse. To the north-east of the castle are the ruins of a former priory belonging to the Cluniac Order, set on an incline above the River Nar. This small river, highlighted in blue on the plan, provided the priory with the greater part of its water supply via a 'monastic drain' - a general descriptive term for fenland drainage systems characterised by large overflow ditches. Metcalf, Edward B.

Wells

1 : 31680 This plan covers the North Norfolk coast and features some of the most distinctive salt-marshes, inter-tidal flats, dunes, shingle and grazing marshes in Europe. Near Wells-next-the-Sea is Holkham Park with its triumphal arch indicated along the southern approach. This was the path visitors from London and Newmarket would have taken to Wells. At the highest point of the park, aligned with the arch, is the obelisk of Holkham Park Mansion and Kent's North Lodges. Budgen, Charles

Yarmouth 23

1 : 31680 This drawing shows the coast of Great Yarmouth in detail. A fort and military batteries are indicated along the coast, reflecting the military emphasis of the survey. Nelson's monument in Great Yarmouth is illustrated. Nelson landed here on his return from the victory at the Battle of Copenhagen. In the bottom-right corner of this drawing a note reads: "Mr Budgen says the hills represented in this plan are extremely low and therefore they must be kept very light in the engraving T.C. [Thomas Colby]." Also: "Strumpshaw Hill in the south west corner of this plan is commonly considered upon the highest eminence in this county. I think it is not by a hundred feet or more and would judge Strumpshaw Hill to be upon an elevation of 250 feet above the level of the sea hall May 5 1817." Area measurements are also noted. Budgen, Charles

Lynn Regis

1 : 31680 .This plan covers part of West Norfolk, with Lynn Regis depicted at the top left on the west bank of the River Ouse., Derived from the Gaelic for 'lake' or 'pool', the town was originally called Lin, changing to Bishop's Lynn in 1204., After Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries in 1536, it became Lynn Regis, and finally King's Lynn., The heaths and commons characteristic of the area are represented by open dotting, particularly evident in the right-hand portion of the drawing., Warrens are depicted by dense colour washes and short disconnected lines - a technique known as 'hachuring'., Along the left margin of the sheet are numerous annotations, with corrections marked in yellow on the plan. Yeakell, Thomas Jr.

E. Harling

1 : 31680 The words 'Trig Point' are noted to the far left of the drawing, below Bodney. They indicate points from which angular measurements were taken in order to plot accurately the location of prominent landscape features. The pencil interlining ('hachuring') and shading that indicate relief have been lightly applied, leaving the road network clearly visible. The detail with which the roads are rendered is indicative of the Ordnance Survey's military imperative. Metcalf, Edward B.
