1720 map
A Survey of the Manors of Milford Barnes & Milford Montague for Andrew Hopegood 1720. A note added in the bottom corner reads: “A tracing made under the direction of Clement Reid FRS from an old map in the Milford Church Chest. The original was lent to Canon R T Cole about 1940 and was not found among his possessions when [he] died. It has never been recovered.” The print in the collection is a copy from the tracing made by Hampshire Record Office and provided to MOSHRS when the tracing was deposited with HRO. Some field names included, but a schedule of occupiers referred to in an Occasional Magazine presumably was lost with the map. A line marked Present Coast Line added by Mrs Clement Reid in 1920. This copy at approximately two thirds the size of the original and excludes the field systems to the north of the main Lymington to Christchurch road. Coloured.
