A MAP OF THE DIOCESS OF LONDON
This drawn plan was probably a draught for the map of the Diocese of London published by Jacob Robinson between 1723 and 1748. The title and an explanatory note appear in a square table at the bottom right. The boundaries of the diocese are outlined in red and all the churches within the diocese indicated by a red symbol.

SUFFOLCIAE Comitatus f.38
This is a map of Suffolk by Christopher Saxton which dates from 1576. It forms part of an atlas that belonged to William Cecil Lord Burghley, Elizabeth I’s Secretary of State, who used this atlas to illustrate domestic matters. This map is actually a proof copy of one which forms part of Christopher Saxton’s Atlas of England and Wales. This atlas was first published as a whole in 1579. It consists of 35 coloured maps depicting the counties of England and Wales. The atlas is of great significance to British cartography as it set a standard of cartographic representation in Britain and the maps remained the basis for English county mapping, with few exceptions, until after 1750. During the reign of Elizabeth I, map use became more common, with many government matters referring to increasingly accurate maps with consistent scales and symbols, made possible by advances in surveying techniques. Illustrating the increasing use of maps in government matters, Lord Burghley, who had been determined to have England and Wales mapped in detail from the 1550s, selected the cartographer Christopher Saxton to produce a detailed and consistent survey of the country. The financier of the project was Thomas Seckford Master of Requests at the Court of Elizabeth I, whose arms appear, along with the royal crest, on each map. This map, unlike many of the others in the series, is divided into administrative units called hundreds which are shown by areas of different coloured. Lord Burghley has added information to the map, particularly along the coast line, knowledge of which was vital for defence.The map was engraved by Lenaert Terwoot, one of a team of seven English and Flemish engravers employed to produce the copper plates for the atlas.

This map of Essex is from the 1583 edition of the Saxton atlas of England and Wales. TThis atlas was first published as a whole in 1579. It consists of 35 coloured maps depicting the counties of England and Wales. The atlas is of great significance to British cartography as it set a standard of cartographic representation in Britain and the maps remained the basis for English county mapping, with few exceptions, until after 1750. During the reign of Elizabeth I map use became more common, with many government matters referring to increasingly accurate maps with consistent scales and symbols, made possible by advances in surveying techniques.

The financier of the project was Thomas Seckford Master of Requests at the Court of Elizabeth I, whose arms appear, along with the royal crest, on each map. Relief, in the form of uniform rounded representations of hills, is the main topographical feature presented in the maps. Rather than provide a scientific representation of relative relief these give a general impression of the lie of the land. Settlements and notable buildings are also recorded pictorially; a small building with a spire represents a village, while more important towns, such as Colchester are indicated by groups of buildings. London is shown in the bottom left hand corner and although at a small scale it is shown in some detail with St Paul’s Cathedral and London Bridge leading to Southwark clearly discernable. St Paul’s is correctly shown without its steeple which was destroyed by lightning in 1561 and was not replaced. Saxton, Christopher Ryther, Augustine

Lord Burghley has added several place names to the map. At the mouth of the river Blackwater Lord Burghley has also written "Heyghfeld fayre and fatt, Barndon park better than that, Coppledon beares a Crown, Copthall best of all". The last-named is probably Sir Thomas Heneage's seat, near Epping in. Essex. The name of the engraver of the map has not been included but would have been one of a team of seven English and Flemish engravers employed to produce the copper plates for the atlas.

A New and Correct MAPP OF MIDDLESEX, ESSEX AND HERTFORDSHIRE With the Roads Rivers Sea-Coast ACTUALLY SURVEYED
Based on an original survey of 1721, this map of Hertfordshire, Middlesex and Essex was first issued in 1724. It was still being offered for sale by Bowles& Carver at the end of the 18th Century. Printed in six sheets, the map's title appears in ornamental cartouche at top left, with compass star at bottom right, key to symbols at bottom left and a list of towns and villages in a panel below the plan. Down both sides of the map and along the bottom are 850 coats of arms. A key in the table at bottom centre links them to the homes of their owners, who were also subscribers to the map. County borders are indicated by a discontinuous line, with liberty boundaries (public land) outlined in colour. Warburton, John, Bland, Joseph and Smyth, Pyler
