1 item extracted from E 178/910. Map of Hailes, Gloucestershire, and surrounding area, showing Hailes manor house, mill, inn, dovecote and other farm buildings of the dissolved abbey. Also shows houses and church at Didbrook; named fields and closes with acreage, some fields shown in strips with bulkheads; hedges, hedge trees, stiles and gates; roads, woods, streams, ponds (one with swan), and lead conduit. Border. Scale bar surmounted by dividers, bearing legend 'A Scale of Perches at 16 foot to the perc[h]': scale bar damaged. Cardinal points: oriented to the east. Signed by Ralph Treswell and dated by him 158[-]. Blank panels at the sides of the map also suggest that the map is unfinished. Annotations in a different hand note features named in the dispute for which the map was made, and give land use at that time. Produced by order of a special commission of inquiry dated 1587 (E 178/910 folio 2), into ownership of Hailes Park. A further commission of that year noted that a map had been made and agreed upon by the parties, but required further information to be supplied by the commissioners (E 178/910 folio 1).
