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.

Hemel Hempstead

1 : 31680 This drawing describes a section of the Grand Junction Canal. The prehistoric Icknield Way appears at the top left of the plan. Hill-shading techniques and the attention given to communications routes conform to the military and cartographic standards employed by the Survey. Some name corrections are visible in faded ink in the centre of the map around Bovingdon. Harefield Common is also revised. Hyett, William

Aylesbury

1 : 31680 The chalk range of the Chiltern Hills reaches its highest point at Combe Hill, near Wendover, at the bottom left of this plan. Roughly drawn interlining ('hachuring') in black depicts relief with a recto inscription in pencil noting that "the irregular pencil lines are drawn too strong". The draughtsman has described earthworks, barrows, minor tributaries and a navigable feeder of the Grand Union Canal and a section of the prehistoric Icknield Way running from above Tring to "Pittlesthorn". Corrections in red ink are clearly visible, possibly dating from the 1831 revision of the plan. Boyce
