Handout 18Th February 2012 Chilterns Commons Project Training Workshop - Handout 18th February 2012 Researching historic maps – further information Ordnance Survey maps The earliest OS maps are the 1” and 2” drawings produced in the 1820s for military purposes. Next to be produced were the First Edition 6” and 25” per mile maps surveyed in the 1870s- 1880s. These do not give evidence of occupants of any area, but landscape features are easily seen on the 6” maps, just as you would expect of modern OS maps. The 25” maps are sufficiently detailed to show the locations of buildings. Churches, pubs and important houses are named, but not roads. Second Edition maps were produced for most regions around the 1900s and these were updated again in the 1919-1926 period, and so on. In this way the evolution of the landscape, of archaeological features, or of community history can all be traced and changes recorded. OS digital mapping started in the mid-1990s. Aerial photographs are available for most areas of the UK from the 1930s onwards, are particularly numerous during the war years, and have been taken at regular intervals since. Archaeological features can show up extremely well on these photos, but you need to look at a number of photos taken at different times of the year and from different angles, eg vertical and oblique. NB – Copyright states that OS maps can only be freely copied once over 50 years old. Inclosure maps These were produced for those parishes that enclosed their open fields in the 18th and early 19th centuries. They were very carefully drawn to show the new apportionment of the land which was also described in written Inclosure Awards. Plots and buildings are numbered, as with tithe maps. Highway diversions: 19th century maps that show the diversion or stopping of footpaths and highways made by order of the Quarter Sessions. A ‘Visual Map Index’ is usually available in the map store that shows these old maps overlaid on modern maps for ease of reference. Valuation maps Valuation maps were drawn for the revaluation of land by the Inland Revenue after 1910. They nd are coloured and annotated OS maps, usually 2 edition 25” per mile maps. Estate maps Surveys of estates or manors can be of variable dates. It is not unusual to find maps dating from the 1500s to 1700s. They were always commissioned by the Lord of the Manor or owner of the estate either to show the extent of their land or to record changes to it. They commonly show all the estate’s property and land boundaries, including field names and the names of those living in cottages on the estate at that time. Tithe maps The Tithe Commutation Act of 1836 resulted in most parishes producing these maps. They parish was surveyed on a large scale and a detailed text (called an ‘award’ or ‘apportionment’ accompanies it listing information about the parish, township or tithing. Tithe maps are extremely useful as buildings are clearly shown and names for fields or land units are on the maps. The apportionment text can be used to provide information on ownership, tenancy, land use and value. Each building or field is numbered on the map and the number can be found in the accompanying text which gives all the details about property or land.

    RE-EVALUATING MAPS OF DOMESDAY POPULATION DENSITIES: A case study from the Cambridgeshire fenland By SUSAN OOSTHUIZEN Abstract Professor Sir Clifford Darby’s county, regional and national maps of a range of data drawn from the Domesday Book revolutionized scholarship on the social and economic history of late Anglo-Saxon England (e.g. 1935, 1936a, 1936b, 1971, 1977). While this paper does not seek to challenge Darby’s general conclusions, a case study re-examination of the inter-relationship between population density and physical geography in the Cambridgeshire fenland in 1086 suggests the regional usefulness of methodological adjustments to his mapping. It indicates that the population density of the peat and silt fens in the late eleventh century may have been significantly higher than that shown in Darby’s original maps, with implications for the contemporary social and economic history of eastern England. Introduction The magnificence of many fenland churches allows even a complete stranger to infer the large numbers of inhabitants in and general prosperity of the region during the middle ages (Illustration 1, Figure 1). Its affluence is confirmed in the lay subsidies of 1327, 1332 and 1334. Settlements on the silt fens (for which there is the most information) were so prosperous that they generated among the highest returns per square mile and per vill in England, as well as some of the highest rates per taxpayer (Campbell and Bartley 2006: Maps 18.3, 18.13). Although only 20% of English settlements paid more than £225 in 1334, that select group includes not only Ely (paying £358), Leverington (paying £360), and Wisbech (paying £410) but almost every other silt fen vill (Glasscock 1973: 181-3; 1975: 28, 107, 168-9).

  • London and Middlesex in the 1660S Introduction: the Early Modern
    London and Middlesex in the 1660s Introduction: The early modern metropolis first comes into sharp visual focus in the middle of the seventeenth century, for a number of reasons. Most obviously this is the period when Wenceslas Hollar was depicting the capital and its inhabitants, with views of Covent Garden, the Royal Exchange, London women, his great panoramic view from Milbank to Greenwich, and his vignettes of palaces and country-houses in the environs. His oblique birds-eye map- view of Drury Lane and Covent Garden around 1660 offers an extraordinary level of detail of the streetscape and architectural texture of the area, from great mansions to modest cottages, while the map of the burnt city he issued shortly after the Fire of 1666 preserves a record of the medieval street-plan, dotted with churches and public buildings, as well as giving a glimpse of the unburned areas.1 Although the Fire destroyed most of the historic core of London, the need to rebuild the burnt city generated numerous surveys, plans, and written accounts of individual properties, and stimulated the production of a new and large-scale map of the city in 1676.2 Late-seventeenth-century maps of London included more of the spreading suburbs, east and west, while outer Middlesex was covered in rather less detail by county maps such as that of 1667, published by Richard Blome [Fig. 5]. In addition to the visual representations of mid-seventeenth-century London, a wider range of documentary sources for the city and its people becomes available to the historian.

  • The Theological Socialism of the Labour Church
    ‘SO PECULIARLY ITS OWN’ THE THEOLOGICAL SOCIALISM OF THE LABOUR CHURCH by NEIL WHARRIER JOHNSON A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Theology and Religion School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham May 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT The thesis argues that the most distinctive feature of the Labour Church was Theological Socialism. For its founder, John Trevor, Theological Socialism was the literal Religion of Socialism, a post-Christian prophecy announcing the dawn of a new utopian era explained in terms of the Kingdom of God on earth; for members of the Labour Church, who are referred to throughout the thesis as Theological Socialists, Theological Socialism was an inclusive message about God working through the Labour movement. By focussing on Theological Socialism the thesis challenges the historiography and reappraises the significance of the Labour

In this richly illustrated book, Laura Vaughan examines maps of ethnic or religious difference, poverty, and health Mapping inequalities, demonstrating how they not only serve as historical records of social enquiry, but also constitute inscriptions of social patterns that have been etched deeply on the surface of cities. Society The book covers themes such as the use of visual rhetoric to change public Society opinion, the evolution of sociology as an academic practice, changing attitudes to The Spatial Dimensions physical disorder, and the complexity of segregation as an urban phenomenon. While the focus is on historical maps, the narrative carries the discussion of the of Social Cartography spatial dimensions of social cartography forward to the present day, showing how disciplines such as public health, crime science, and urban planning, chart spatial data in their current practice. Containing examples of space syntax analysis alongside full-colour maps and photographs, this volume will appeal to all those interested in the long-term forces that shape how people live in cities. Laura Vaughan is Professor of Urban Form and Society at the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL. In addition to her research into social cartography, she has Vaughan Laura written on many other critical aspects of urbanism today, including her previous book for UCL Press, Suburban Urbanities: Suburbs and the Life of the High Street.

  • British History Online As a Case Study Background And
    The Impact and Embedding of an Established Resource: British History Online as a Case Study Grant 7/10. JISC e-Content and Digitisation Programmes: Impact and Embedding of Digitised Resources Jonathan Blaney and Peter Webster, Institute of Historical Research, School of Advanced Study, University of London. March 2011 Background and context British History Online (BHO) is a digital library of core sources for the medieval and modern history of Great Britain. BHO was launched in 2003 and is a well-used resource: in the 12- month period to 30 September 2010 there were just over 17 million page views and almost four million visits; it has a comprehensive set of usage data going back over a number of years. JISC‟s funding of an impact analysis of the site provided for a further stage to (and expansion of) an ongoing longitudinal analysis by the BHO team of the impact of digital resources in the historical profession. These analyses, which were mostly interview-based, took place in 2002, 2005, and 2009-10. The team were always aware that these benchmarking studies focused on research alone and that teaching and learning had not been investigated. The present project has enabled the team to fill this gap in our knowledge of the use of digital resources, and of BHO in particular, in teaching and learning, as well as to extend our benchmarking of the impact of digital resources in research. Our study sought to answer the following questions: (i) how is BHO currently used in university-sector teaching in the UK? Is it used for teaching to a greater

  • Memory in Early Modern England
    Part II Special Subject C Memory in Early Modern England Prof. Alex Walsham ([email protected]) Overview Without memory, we could not write History. But memory itself has a history. This Special Subject investigates one segment of that history in the context of sixteenth- and seventeenth- century England. By contrast with medievalists and modernists, early modernists have been slow to investigate how the arts of remembering and forgetting were implicated in and affected by the profound religious, political, intellectual, cultural, and social upheavals of the period. However, there is now a growing surge of exciting and stimulating research on this topic. Its relevance and centrality to key historiographical debates and its capacity to shed fresh light on classic questions regarding one of the most tumultuous eras in English history are increasingly being recognised. Set against the backdrop of the profound ruptures of the Reformation, Civil Wars, and the constitutional revolution of 1688, this Paper seeks to explore how individuals and communities understood and practised memory alongside the ways in which it was exploited and harnessed, divided and fractured, by the unsettling developments through which contemporaries lived and in which they actively participated. It assesses the role played by amnesia and oblivion, nostalgia and commemoration, in facilitating change and in negotiating the legacies it left. Students will be exposed to a wide range of primary sources – from chronicles, diaries, histories, memoirs and compilations of folklore to legal depositions, pictures, maps, buildings, funeral monuments and material objects – that afford insight into the culture and transmutations of early modern memory. Sessions in the Michaelmas Term will explore contemporary perceptions and practices of memory.
