Symbols distinguish woodland, heathland, arable enclosed land and formal parkland. Brushstroke interlining indicates relief and hills. The River Thames is depicted in the lower part of the sheet, meandering through Oxfordshire between Oxford and Wallingford. Stanley, William

Bicester

1 : 31680 Enclosed farmland dominates the landscape of this part of Oxfordshire. Heythrop Park, at top left, and Middleton Park and Kirtlington Park, in the centre, are fine examples of 17th-century formal park landscapes. Stanley, William

Bampton

1 : 31680 William Stanley was listed as a first class Military surveyor and draughtsman at the Drawing Room of the Tower of London. In 1821, he was asked to revise this plan by the Ordnance Survey's Superintendent, William Mudge. Stanley wrote to explain that he had "a great deal of trouble" in finding his field books and sketches "in consequence of its being so long since it was done, about 10 years." The dirty and torn condition of the drawing most likely results from constant travelling between the Tower and the surveyors in the field for amendments and corrections. Inns named include "Tumble Down Dick", "Rose and Crown", and "Kingstones Inn". Tollgates are also noted. Stanley, William

Woodstock

1 : 31680 The map of the area surrounding the Royal Wychwood Forest and Oxford was drawn by teaching draughtsman at the Tower of London, William Stanley. After inaccuracies were found in the plan during routine checks in 1820, Stanley hastened to explain that the employment by the Board of Ordnance of local civilian surveyors "of various abilities" to carry out much of the mapping meant that accuracy was often sacrificed for speed as these civilian personnel were paid according to the number of miles surveyed and drawn. An ochre-coloured turnpike road forms a boundary from Shipton Down at the top left of the map to Yarnton at the centre right. The cumulative mileage appears alongside the route in figures. The close attention Stanley pays to communication routes emphasises the military focus of these studies. Stanley, William

Wantage

1 : 31680 The bottom boundary of this map of White Horse Vale is formed by the Ridge Way, an ancient grass track. The Wiltshire and Berkshire Canal runs through the centre of the landmass. The elaborate hill-shading and the attention paid to communications routes conform to the military and cartographic standards employed by the Ordnance Survey. The manuscript is made up of three separate pieces of paper, joined together at a later date and attached to stiffer paper. Stanley, William

Ot Moor

1 : 31680 .The county border between Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire is indicated on this map by a red dotted line near the left margin., Ot Moor, an area of some 4,000 acres of fenland, appears at the centre of the drawing., Depicted around the moor are the remains of ancient woodlands: Prattle Woods, Horton Spinney, Studley Wood and Whitecross Green Wood. Stanley, William

Banbury

1 : 31680 .This plan of part of Oxfordshire features Nadbury Camp at the top left. An iron-age hill fort, the camp overlooks the site of the Battle of Edgehill, fought in 1642 during the English Civil War. Tollgates and turnpikes appear on all major roads in the region. The earliest of these was established in the 17th century, using tolls to pay for the upkeep of the road network. Stevens, Henry

Shipston-on-Stour

1 : 31680 This area at the edge of the Cotswolds is dominated by enclosed farmland. Depicted at top left is the Fosse Way, the old Roman road running from Exeter to Lincoln, via Bath, Cirencester and Leicester (where it intersected the Watling Street from London).
