Comments on map:
Date and mapmaker from catalogue; can't find either on map. No title: estate map of manor, which doesn't seem to include the village (shown by pictorial buildings): this is a very borderline case. Holdings indicated by alchemical symbols, with total acreages for each holding in reference. (Extent boundaries not very well fixed.)
