Detail from OSD 127 (Hampton Court), showing Kingston, Richmond and Twickenham

This drawing of London and the surrounding Thames countryside provides a fascinating blueprint of Regency London. The layouts of the ornamental gardens and tree-lined avenues of Hampton Court and nearby Bushy Park are shown in detail. These contrast with the depiction of Kew Gardens, which is left blank within its boundaries. The Ordnance Survey Letter Book records: "When the Ordnance Survey of the vicinity of Brentford was made, The Surveyor was not permitted to enter Kew Gardens." At that time, King George III was recuperating at Kew from bouts of mental illness: the king's privacy and security took primacy over mapmaking. Stanley, William

Chobham

1 : 31680 .This map is in poor repair. Its edges are dirty and damaged, and a join is visible where the drawing has been torn. Triangulation points can be seen at the map's boundaries, along with a series of stitch holes. Silk tape was wound through these holes to protect the map in the field. .The drawing details a large number of commons, including Pirbright, Ham Haw and Ockham. These are depicted by patterns of open dotting. Basingstoke Canal also features. It was completed in 1794, only a few years before this map was drawn. Blue washes, used to depict water, have faded. The town of Chertsey appears towards the top right, along with the ruins of Chertsey Abbey. The abbey was founded in AD666, as a house for the Benedictine Order, and dissolved in 1537. Budgen, Thomas

Cranleigh

1 : 31680 Turnpike roads, shown in faded yellow ochre, run from Guildford at the top of the map to Witley in the centre left and "Aldfold" in the bottom left. Black-ink figures record the mileage along these routes. Tollgates are marked "TG". A dotted symbol depicts the untilled agricultural land that dominate the landscape around the valley of the River Wye, from Guildford to Godalming. The stippling technique commonly used to depict rough pasture is used here for the many heaths and commons of the undulating Surrey lowlands. Budgen, Thomas

Godalming

1 : 31680 .This map is in excellent condition and has retained its colour through two centuries. The turquoise wash, used to indicate water, remains particularly bright and vibrant. Commonland is the most prominent topographical feature in the drawing, denoted by open dotting. Large commons are shown at Frensham, Fernham, Thursley, Witley and Hinkley. Commons were carefully detailed by the surveyors, with a view to their possible use as military encampments. Although illustrating archaeological features did not become obligatory until 1816, this map notes a Bronze Age structure called the Devil's Jump, near Elstead at the centre of the map. Budgen, Thomas

Croydon

1 : 31680 Woodland and agricultural land dominate this plan, which covers an area from Beckenham and Croydon at the top, to Felbridge, Hackenham and Gotwick at the bottom. Buildings are infilled and blocked together at Croydon, the largest settlement shown.

Chiddingfold

1 : 31680 .A turnpike road, coloured ochre yellow, forms a boundary from Hascombe at the top right of the map to 'Aldfold' at the bottom. Common land and dense woodland dominate the region to the left around Hindhead Valley and the Devil's Punchbowl.Commonland is indicated by open dotting. Woods and trees could provide hindrance or cover for the movement of a regiment, so these are recorded in painstaking detail. Individual trees are depicted with a small vertical stem and a shadow at the base. There are also more general representations of groups of treetops. Budgen, Thomas

Ockley

1 : 31680 The plan of this undulating lowland region of Surrey is intersected by the Stane Street Causeway. At the top right of the plan is the Anstiebury Camp hillfort. This ancient site is denoted by a large circle and a cross, although the recording of archaeological details did not become obligatory until 1816. Clusters of treetops dominate the map, which also illustrates several windmills. Budgen, Thomas
