Estate map
Estate maps were maps commissioned by individual landowners or institutions showing their extensive landed property, typically including fields, parkland and buildings. They were used for display and estate management and were fashionable from the 16th to the 19th century.
==History==
In England and Wales, estate maps began to be produced in large numbers during the 16th century.〔PDA Harvey, ''Maps in Tudor England'' (The Public Record Office and The British Library, 1993)〕 The availability of new estates as a result of the Dissolution of the Monasteries gave increased impetus to their production. Estate maps continued in popularity until the middle of the 19th century, when large scale tithe and Ordnance Survey maps became available. The decline of many country estates led to the dismantling of many of the traditional landed estates in the early to mid 20th century.
A few maps were drawn prior to the 16th century, but these were ad hoc, for a particular purpose. Before the emergence of the estate map, manors and other estates were usually managed using written documents listing the buildings, fields and tenants. These were known variously as surveys, rentals and extents.〔PDA Harvey, ''Manorial Records'' (British Record Association, 1984)〕 Despite the adoption of estate maps, the use of mapless surveys continued, although it gradually declined.〔A Sarah Bendall, ''Maps, Land and Society: A History, with a Carto-bibliography, of Cambridgeshire Estate Maps, 1600-1836 '' (Cambridge University Press, 1992)〕 The surveyor who measured the land for the map could typically survey per day and was paid 6d per acre.
