Comments on map:
The map appears to be by the same author as TNA [PRO] IR 30/20/213 [Exeter 04756] ; however, the detail is very similar to that on James Sandby Padley's 1:3168 map of Lincoln of 1842/51, etc [Exeter 18221], and the map may actually be by Padley, though there are some minor differences in the treatment of some buildings. Tithe free land is not mapped in detail. [Revised from original, 2:3:07.]
