Comments on map:
Page 63 of an estate atlas, photographed by Ordnance Survey (ref A.O. 381) when in the possession of Rear-Admiral R.P. Ernle-Erle-Drax; other smaller-scale maps of the manor at BLML Maps 2159 (58) [A.O. 372] and (61) [A.O. 361]. Dating from Catalogue of photographs of old cadastral and other plans of Great Britain, Southampton: Ordnance Survey, 1935, where says that the author is Isaac Taylor. Scale and dimensions seem slightly reduced (none are mentioned by OS), so have been compensated. Some areas numbered: no reference available.
