| Abstract: | A recent discovery in Towneley Hall, Lancashire, of three uncatalogued manuscript maps of the roads and coasts of the Cartmel peninsula has thrown new light upon 17th century surveying and mapping methodology, showing the way field notes were turned into fair copies ready for the engraver. However, more importantly, these three maps show the moment at which the antiquary Richard Kuerden realised his 1685 detailed work, mapping the roads and boundaries of Cartmel parish, which had been conceived as part of a wider plan to make a large-scale map of Lancashire, showed that such a map was beyond the capabilities of any one man to achieve: and the project was abandoned. | ||
