Contents 1 The area around the Strettons 2 The Saxton Map of 1577 3 Modern settlements from the Ordnance Survey maps 4 Locations shown on the Saxton Map (1577)

The area around the Strettons

The Saxton Map of 1577

This is a fairly early map of the area, showing it after the major population losses of the C14, but well before the coming of modern transport systems. It shows no roads. Hills and settlements are shown conventionally, without a serious attempt to represent them realistically.

Modern settlements from the Ordnance Survey maps

Modern settlements mapped onto the locations shown on the Saxton Map. Most of the settlements on the Saxton map can fairly easily be identified on modern Ordnance Survey maps. The accuracy of the modern maps does show one major area of distortion on the Saxton map. Settlements in the south-west area of the map appear significantly higher on the map than equivalent settlements further east.

Locations shown on the Saxton Map (1577)

Saxton and modern names compared, together with Ordnance Survey grid references giving an etimate of the location of the settlement on modern maps.
