Gough Map
The Gough Map or Bodleian Map is a map of the island of Great Britain, dating between 1355 and 1366, and is the oldest surviving route map of Great Britain. Its precise date of production and authorship are unknown. It is named after Richard Gough, who donated the map to the Bodleian Library in 1809. He is believed to have acquired the map from the collection of the late antiquarian "Honest Tom" Martin in 1774.〔 Numerous copies of it have been made, with an interactive online version created at Queen's University, Belfast. It measures 115 x 56 cm.〔(Gough Map - About )〕 == Date == Dating of the map has been undertaken based on historical changes of place names and sizes.〔 Gough believed the map to date from the reign of Edward III, but 19th-century scholarship suggested that it dated from c. 1300, during the reign of Edward I.〔 Subscription required〕 The map is now generally believed to have been made within an eleven-year window, due to the ability to date some of its features. The earliest given date is deduced by the depiction of a city wall around Coventry, which was first constructed in 1355.〔 The latter date is usually given as 1366, the year in which the town marked on the map as ''Sheppey'' was renamed Queenborough.〔 Lexicographic evidence also suggests that it dates from the latter half of the 14th century.〔 It is, however, believed that the map is based on an earlier version, made around 1280.〔
