Weymouth

This drawing covers the coast of Weymouth Bay and the Isle of Portland. Lighthouses are marked on the tip of the island. Red lines denote stone walls. Sandsfoot Castle and Portland Castle are shown by blocks of red ink. These were among of a series of castles built by Henry VIII as defence against Spain and France after his divorce from the Catholic Catherine of Aragon and his breaking of ties with Rome. Chalbury Hillfort is indicated above Weymouth Bay. Archaeological sites were of interest to many of the draughtsmen and were often included even before it became obligatory to do so in 1816. The boundary with Purbeck is indicated by a red pecked line. Budgen, Charles

A Coloured Plan of the Isle of Portland and Weymouth Bay

This is a map of the coastal area of Portland Bill and Weymouth. It dates from around 1590 and may be the work of Robert Adams, a surveyor with a reputation for producing carefully drawn maps of towns and districts in England and the Low Countries. The coastline with its cliffs, beaches and tributaries is carefully recorded. At this time the security of England threatened by the Anglo-Spanish war. Raids on transatlantic shipping by English seamen such as Francis Drake and England’s support of the Protestant rebellion in the Spanish ruled Netherlands had induced the Catholic Philip II to launch the Spanish Armada in 1588. Although the Armada was defeated by the English in August of that year, England remained at war with Spain for many years to come. Further attempts to invade were made by Philip of Spain, with the dispersal of a second Armada’ in October 1596 and the assembly of the third Armada’ in the following spring. In this climate it was naturally coastal areas that were under the closest scrutiny. Topographical features are recorded pictorially with Weymouth shown in great detail with the church and sea walls discernable. Portland and Sandsfoot castles are also shown. These were built by Henry VIII during the 1539-40 threat from the combined forces of France and Spain Francis I of France and Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain signed a peace treaty. The castles provided essential protection of the vulnerable sea lanes of the area. Adams, Robert

Radipole, near Weymouth, Dorset

This is a map of Radipole near Weymouth, Dorset, dating from the reign of Elizabeth I. It seems to illustrate a dispute over tithes, which was a direct tax on farming representing a percentage of annual agricultural production. This plan shows the shape of fields, although these are not to scale. The text is in a secretary hand. The Fleete is indicated by a red/purple wash. On the bank of the Fleet bulwarks are shown and labelled. This map predates the governments involvement in the process of redistribution and enclosure of communally held land in England. This occurred in 1604, when an Act of Parliament was obtained for the enclosure of the area of Radipole, Dorset. Enclosure and redistribution of communally held land aimed to introduce a more efficient farming structure.
