Cowes 27A

1 : 10560 This plan of the Isle of Wight shows the River Medina flowing north into the Solent Channel, at the top of the map between West and East Cowes. The drawing is made on rectangular sheet lines, enclosed by a black border. Stonework buildings and structures are drawn in red ink at major settlements such as Newtown and Cowes. Irregular field boundaries dominate the coastal landscape. The care with which they are delineated suggests they were measured rather than estimated or sketched by the surveyor. Gardner, William

Beaulieu

This drawing covers a section of the south coast bordering the Solent and Southampton Water. The defence requirements of this area were considerable as the Solent gave access to the important ports of Portsmouth and Southampton. Calshot Castle, shown here in red and black at the mouth of Southampton Water, was built by Henry VIII as part of a defensive chain defending the coast by cannon power. The drawing features a large decorative compass whose rays are visible extending to the edge of the land mass. Several corrections can be seen in black ink, where place names and the exact course of roads have been altered.

A coloured chart of Portsmouth Harbour, Spithead, and part of the Isle of Wight, on a scale of one mile to an inch

This is a map of Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight dating from 1585. It has been annotated by William Cecil Lord Burghley, Secretary of State to Elizabeth I, who has added the names "Westburhunt" and "Chichest". Burghley was an avid map collector and his application of geographical knowledge to matters of government is well known. Three beacons are indicated on 'Portesdowne', showing the systems in place for alerting the locality in an invasion scenario. Either side of these beacons are red windmill symbols named "westmyll" and "estmill", two further windmills, again highlighted in red, lie towards the centre of the map. It is likely that these have been highlighted due to their height which would facilitate their use as vantage points or beacons. There is a scale bar indicating a scale of one inch to a mile. Portsmouth became the focus of a new program of defensive works in 1584. Since the accession of the Protestant Elizabeth I to the English throne in 1558 Anglo-Spanish relationship had deteriorated. The continued English raids on Spanish colonial interests and England’s support of the Protestant rebellion in the Spanish ruled Netherlands had induced the Catholic Philip II to plan an invasion of England. It is likely that this map, detailing the beacons in the area, was produced for military purposes connected with the strengthening of the defences for the Portsmouth area against the expected Spanish Invasion. William Cecil, Lord Burghley
