A fine selection of church fonts are celebrated on this Map, from Waltham to Freeby and Burrough to Twyford. Continuing an ecclesiastical theme, there is a cautionary note recalling Parson Pike, a clergyman so fat he had to be carried into the pulpit. Commemorated local characters include Lady Jane Grey, Cardinal Wolsey and the beautiful Mrs Greenwell of Lowesby who had 39 children by one husband.

Publication Essentials
Poster-sized and litho printed on quality card in numbered limited editions, this is one in a series of pre-1974 county area Maps. Designed for framing and to stimulate conversation, JL Carr created the Maps as a way to present an optimistic set of testimonials to our indigenous, daring and buoyant forbears and to hearten those Englishmen who hope for a rekindling of the spirit which has enlivened our nation through its chequered history. These architectural, historical, literary and pictorial curiosities are not to be used for navigation; except in the broadest of terms.Map Details
