Margate, Kent
Drawing showing the Isle of Thanet in Kent, including Reculver, Margate and Ramsgate. Pencil lines radiate from central points on this plan, indicating the locations from which the surveyor took angular measurements to plot the relative positions of prominent features in the landscape. The coastline is carefully observed. Rocky outcrops are noted pictorially and sand indicated by a dotted yellow tint. The pier at Ramsgate is recorded along with the harbour gate. Several corrections appear in black ink. Windmills are shown in elevation.
Margate (Kent)
This drawing shows the area around Margate in Kent. Many red lines can be seen radiating from fixed points. These were used to form a grid to plot the relative positions of the settlements and topographical details. The draughtsman has recorded the layout of the towns in red ink. The pier and harbour of Ramsgate are detailed, showing the gated structure.
Bishopsbourne, Kent
This field sketch provides an instructive contrast to the meticulous detail found in more finished drawings. Working roughly in black ink, the draughtsman has recorded field boundaries, relief and the details of the settlements.

North East Corner of Kent
This is a map of the north east corner of Kent. 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. It is though to be by William Lambard. Lambard is known to have been working in Kent during the 1580s and 1590s, producing a map of the beacon network of Kent in 1585. Here the waterways are the dominant feature. These were the most effective mode of transport and knowledge of them was vital in order to protect the country as they made it possible to manoeuvre troops and weaponry in large quantities relatively fast. Given the fact that Lambard was engaged in producing a map of the beacon network of the area, it is likely that this map was also produced with the idea of defence in mind. The threat from Spain reached it climax in the 1580s with the events of the Sapnish Armada in 1588. The earlier years of the decade saw defensive preparations take place and the proximity of this area to London would have made a detailed understanding of its communication routes vital. Lord Burghley has written on the reverse of the map: "River of Stowre betwixt Sandwych and Fordwych" highlighting that the important feature of the map is indeed the waterways. [Lambard, William]
A Chart of the Isle of Thanet and Sandwich Marsh
This is a plan of Sandwich Haven, the River Stour, the Isle of Thanet and the Wantsum Channel, Kent,possibly dating from around 1548. At this time the Sandwich harbour was in a state of decay. The course of the lower part of the River Stour, between Sandwich and the sea is a series of bends. This made it difficult to navigate, especially with the increasing lengths of 16th century ships, and also prone to becoming blocked with deposits of silt. The idea of making a new artificial channel directly east between Sandwich and the sea was proposed by the military engineer John Rogers, as a way to solve the problem. Although work started on the new channel during the reign of Edward VI it was abandoned with nothing more occurring until 1559 when a new report was submitted. This report suggested that the cut be made south of the line proposed by Rogers as here the marsh land was lower and a deep channel at high water would be easier to excavate. The author of this new report and the map which accompanies it are unknown. The only name on the map is Littlejoy which is written under the compass star. The map is drawn at a scale of 7 inches to 10 miles. Littlejoy
