| caveat
|
Our whole project is unashamedly provincial; we must work
from the sources that are available to us, here, based
in Winchester, the Map Collection of Hampshire CC Museum
Service. It is not practical to use primary sources in far
away London. Besides: there is plenty to do with what we
have.
But BEWARE: none of these notes is a definitive essay
about the topic. They are our working notes; we would rather
share them than hide them away. You must take the research
further, more soundly, before relying upon them.
