Description
Ordnance Survey Drawings - Swindon (OSD 166).jpg is located in England
Centre of map shown on a map of England
English: The author of this drawing, William Stanley, was listed as a 'first class' Military draughtsman and surveyor at the Tower of London Drawing Room. His elaborate hill shading technique for describing relief and the attention he pays to communications routes reinforce the military emphasis of these maps. Archaeological details are documented even though this did not become obligatory until 1816. The iron-age hillfort at Barbury Castle is described, along with numerous barrows and earthworks..
