Ilchester 1928
Ilchester in 1928 in a fascinating series of reproductions of old Ordnance Survey plans in the Alan Godfrey Editions, ideal for anyone interested in the history of their neighbourhood or family. In 1901 Ilchester had a population of just 433, but it was once a major town which, in the Middle Ages, boasted 7 churches. Until 1832 it sent two MPs to Parliament. However it was already in serious decline by the late Middle Ages and in 1542 Leland describes it as ”one of the ancientest townes...yn wonderful decay”. The map covers most of the town, including Northover, and features include Hainbury House, Hainbury Flour Mill, Northover Flour Mill, St Andrew`s church, St Mary`s church, Kingshams House, Town Hall and all houses neatly shown. Directories for the town in 1902 and 1927
are on the reverse. About the Alan Godfrey Editions of the 25” OS SeriesSelected towns in Great Britain and Ireland are covered by maps showing the extent of urban development in the last decades of the 19th and early 20th century. The plans have been taken from the Ordnance Survey mapping and reprinted at about 15 inches to one mile (1:4, 340). On the reverse most maps have historical notes and many also include extracts from contemporary directories. Most maps cover about one mile (1.6kms) north/south, one and a half miles (2.4kms) across; adjoining sheets can be combined to provide wider coverage.FOR MORE INFORMATION AND A COMPLETE LIST OF ALL AVAILABLE TITLES PLEASE CLICK ON THE SERIES LINK.
