Estates at Windsor, Berkshire

This is a manuscript map of the area surrounding Windsor in Berkshire. 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. Burghley was in charge of administration for the Royal Estate of Windsor. The Royal Estates were notoriously slackly administered, a flaw that no official involved was keen to remedy as there were considerable personal advantages to be gained from inadequacies in the system. The map is drawn to scale with a scale bar of 5.5 - 6 miles. The many parks are shown by enclosure symbols, an important feature of any landscape for military purposes as it was in parks that troops could rest and horses graze. Communication routes such as roads and pathways are indicated by double or single broken lines and the rivers and the points at which they are bridged are also shown. The waterways were a vital communication route at the time, especially in this area where the Thames provides direct access to the centre of London.

East Ilsley

1 : 31680 .A turnpike road, shown in faded yellow ochre, forms the southern boundary of this map of the Berkshire chalklands. It runs from Speenhamland, at the bottom left of the plan, to Woolhampton, at the right. The mileage appears alongside the route in black-ink figures, and toll gates are marked. Correspondence in the Ordnance Survey Letter Book records that William Stanley, military draughtsman and author of this drawing, spent more than a year from February 1821 revising the plan. Some of these corrections are apparent near Thatcham at the bottom centre of the map. Stanley, William

Lambourn

1 : 31680 Author of this drawing, William Stanley was listed as a 'first class' military draughtsman and surveyor at the Tower of London Drawing Room. The top boundary of this section of the Berkshire Downs follows an ancient grass track, the Ridge Way. Elaborate hill shading describing relief and the attention given to communications routes highlight the military emphasis of these studies. Archaeological details are documented even though this did not become obligatory until 1816. Pencil rays intersecting across the manuscript are evidence of angular measurements taken by the surveyor between fixed points. 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

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
