Cadastrial Parochial Maps

Make one for Battersea
Parish, to serve
as a specimen and
pattern.

The Map being divided
into Squares
each Square distinguished
by a letter†, these
Squares will serve as
a permanent system
of nomenclature; and
standard of reference
for conveyances

† Letters not numerous
enough – Arabic
system viz. numbers
Roman or upright
one way of the Map
Station or leaning
the other way.

Make it on the
scale which would
serve best for a common
and universal one.

The scale might
be magnified for
towns – suppose –
here it were to
be 1/12 inch to
a foot, as in
buildings land is
reckoned and valued
per foot.

Examples the
Map of France

Cadastrial Maps

Quere thanever Sherwood's
found Survey
of London? 2 inches
to a Mile is

The largest Parish
is say 6 inches in
diameter. This at
a foot to an inch
would be 6 feet
at 2 feet 12 feet
not too large to hang
up in a Vestry

3 feet to a mile
would be 1/1760 scale.
☞ 1/1760 of a foot
would be a very discernible
quantity on
Paper.

Large Parishes may
be divided for this
purpose into E. W.
N. & South, or into
with exclusion of
one or two of these
divisions according
to the shape of the
Parish, as in the
Yorkshire Ridings.
