Recorded from reproduction in Joe G. Hillaby, The book of Ledbury, Buckingham: Barracuda Books, 1982, p.55: original in The Ledbury Guide, Ledbury: Devereum, 1824. The map appears to be a fairly obvious derivative from Lidiard, 1788 [Exeter 20138], and is quite different from Gibbs, 1831 [Exeter 20137].
