John Cossins (1697 (Brompton-by-Sawdon), –1743) was an early cartographer, renowned for the following city maps: * plan of Leeds (c.1730) titled "A New and Exact Plan of the Town of Leedes"() () * map of York (1726): "''New and Exact Plan of the City of York''" This displayed fashionable new houses around the margin of the map. () ==His family== Cossins was the elder of the two sons and three daughters of William Cossins of Brompton, who (1707-1725) was steward of the Hackness estate, then consisting of the townships of Hackness, Suffield, Everley, Silpho, Broxa, Langdale End, much of Harwood Dale and some of Burniston. It was as map-maker of this lordship that John first learned the practice and skills of land surveying and drawing.
