Comments on map:
No title or scale. Purpose unclear, but fields are numbered twice, in Roman and italic, as though for both township and parish: church only identifiable by shape and being no.1 (or 1021). Might be for rating, or tithe: 'working plan' look. Shropshire RO dates it 1840, which is plausible, but quotes scale as about 1:1056.
