Map title:

'Plan of the parish of Wokingham in the counties of Berks and Wilts

Comments on map:

A revised version of the tithe map [Exeter 00216], reusing most of its numbering: no reference to hand. Berkshire RO map list says poor-rating valuation is referred to in vestry minutes for Wokingham All Saints [Berkshire RO D/P 154/8/4]. Main map is at 1:4752; Wokingham tOWN Fs at 1:2376. Reference to Wiltshire and retention of county boundary is anomalous, as was all in Berkshire from October 1844. At bottom of map: 'This is the Plan referred to in the Valuation made in 1853 Charles Sanderson J.H. Eisdell'. Map is very light on text.
