n.d. c1880?. In ink on brown tissue paper, backed with linen, folded. Size 21" x 24", folded. Titled simply 'Plan referred to in the afore written indenture'. Shows roads, buildings, footpaths, woodland, field outlines, with fields numbered. Although only Ashhampsted Common, Parish of Bradfield, and the road to Basingstoke and Tidmarsh are named it is possible by matching with the 6" O.S. maps to identify Buckholdhill Farm, Buckhold Farm, Herons Farm, Bottomhouse Farm. Scale bar in chains, compass rose. Small piece of paper chipped away near Basingstoke road, not apparently with any loss of writing. Dr Herbert Watkin had an estate at Buckhold in the 1880's, and it's possible this relates to his lands. --- Please e-mail for one of my FREE CATALOGUES which include BERKSHIRE [ Manuscripts, Maps, Ephemera, Views, etc., etc. ] ---
