This is not a matter of policy: it just happens that the papers submitted to the editor have covered subjects local to Keynsham. In future issues we hope to publish papers dealing with wider aspects of North Wansdyke history. So it is all the more welcome that Michael Bird's account of Jasper Tudor should set the Keynsham interest in the context of national and European history. It illustrates the value of local studies beyond their local interest. Thanks are due to Barbara J Lowe for providing at short notice her account of the excavations by Bristol Folk House Archaeological Society which located a tomb in Keynsham Abbey which is very likely that of Jasper Tudor. Local historians continue to be concerned that the County of Avon does not have a Record Office. -

Cartogram [1883 WORDS]
Vol. 6: Dorling/Cartogram/entry Dorling, D. (forthcoming) Cartogram, Chapter in Monmonier, M., Collier, P., Cook, K., Kimerling, J. and Morrison, J. (Eds) Volume 6 of the History of Cartography: Cartography in the Twentieth Century, Chicago: Chicago University Press. [This is a pre-publication Draft, written in 2006, edited in 2009, edited again in 2012] Cartogram A cartogram can be thought of as a map in which at least one aspect of scale, such as distance or area, is deliberately distorted to be proportional to a variable of interest. In this sense, a conventional equal-area map is a type of area cartogram, and the Mercator projection is a cartogram insofar as it portrays land areas in proportion (albeit non-linearly) to their distances from the equator. According to this definition of cartograms, which treats them as a particular group of map projections, all conventional maps could be considered as cartograms. However, few images usually referred to as cartograms look like conventional maps. Many other definitions have been offered for cartograms. The cartography of cartograms during the twentieth century has been so multifaceted that no solid definition could emerge—and multiple meanings of the word continue to evolve. During the first three quarters of that century, it is likely that most people who drew cartograms believed that they were inventing something new, or at least inventing a new variant. This was because maps that were eventually accepted as cartograms did not arise from cartographic orthodoxy but were instead produced mainly by mavericks. Consequently, they were tolerated only in cartographic textbooks, where they were often dismissed as marginal, map-like objects rather than treated as true maps, and occasionally in the popular press, where they appealed to readers’ sense of irony. -

Which Mr. Freeman Described As an Excellent Example There Were Any Remains, and Was the Best Worthy of Study and This Form Was P
20 NINETEENTH ANNUAL MEETING. by a visit to Canynge’s house in Redcliff Street, now in the occupation of Messrs. Jefferies and Son. At the evening meeting held at the Fine Arts Academy, a paper ‘^on the Geology of the Clifton Rocks;” was read by Mr. W. Stoddart. This paper is printed in Part IT. The Rev. W. Hunt then read a paper on the Rise of Bristol Trade,"” which is printed in Part II. Votes of thanks having been passed to Mr. Stoddart and Rev. W. Hunt, the meeting closed. The members and their friends assembled at the Fine Arts Academy, at 10 o^clock, and notwithstanding a steady downpour of rain, started on the Excursion which had been arranged for the day. The first halt was at the d|Iiuri[h tif lelhitttmntli which Mr. Freeman described as an excellent example of the earliest type of the Somersetshire churches of which there were any remains, and was the best worthy of study of any he knew, retaining, as it did, many of its original features, which in many cases had been very much altered. It was of the early local type, when the cross form seemed to have been very common ; and this form was preserved in this case, whereas in many of the earlier churches it had given way to the predominant west-end towdi*, as at St, Cuthbert^s, at Wells. This church at Whitchurch was an excellent example of the transitional style towards the end of the 12 th or the beginning of the 13th century, the corner shafts being among the best specimens of transitional work anywhere. -
