1 : 31680 Relief is indicated on this plan by shading and interlining ('hachuring'). The concern with depicting relief accurately reflects the military emphasis of these drawings: knowledge of the lie of the land could greatly help the efficient movement of regiments. The right-hand side of the drawing is unfinished, featuring main roads only.

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

Arundel 8

1 : 31680 The Ordnance Survey took particular care in plotting the south coast of England, as this was the area most immediately vulnerable to invasion. This plan notes military barracks at Selsea, Aldwick and Bognor to the bottom right of the plan. Buildings are blocked in red and black ink and infilled at Chichester, in the centre of the plan, and Arundel, at the right. A poor house and pest house are located a considerable distance beyond the boundaries of Chichester.

1 : 31680 Turnpike roads, shown in faded yellow ochre, run from Guildford at the top of the map to Witley in the centre left and "Aldfold" in the bottom left. Black-ink figures record the mileage along these routes. Tollgates are marked "TG". A dotted symbol depicts the untilled agricultural land that dominate the landscape around the valley of the River Wye, from Guildford to Godalming. The stippling technique commonly used to depict rough pasture is used here for the many heaths and commons of the undulating Surrey lowlands. Budgen, Thomas

1 : 31680 The counties of Hampshire, Surrey and Sussex are separated by a red dashed boundary line in this map of the South Downs and the River Rother Valley. Archaeological details are recorded at Duncton Beacon and Irons Barrow even though such documentation did not become obligatory until 1816. Trees and woodland dominate this undulating landscape. Individual trees with a small vertical stem and a shadow at the base are painstakingly drawn, as well as more general, stippled representations of tree tops en masse. The detailed representation of woodland highlights the military emphasis of the survey: trees could hinder or hide the movement of a regiment. The paper bears the watermark '1903.' Budgen, Charles
