    Map England and wales (Cymru) AD 1086

    Hi,
    I have a great love of history and thought I'd do a historical map. Like my others, it's about 20 years old. Since then I've found a few errors. The islands off Norfolk should be mainland. The Norfolk Broads (marshland) were man made during the later Middle Ages. I also didn't realize that the Medieval concept of 'forest' included more than just woodland. So although mostly accurate, some of the woodlands shown shouldn't be there.

    The map is hand drawn in pen and coloured pencil. A" size and took about 200 hours to scribe but another 200 to research!

    Hope you enjoy it !

    Again... great work! I think you might start a new trend... "find the maps we did 20 years ago!"
