>Stratford-on-Avon through 450 years of maps of Warwickshire
Lindsay MacDonald
Monday 18 August, 6.00 pm - White Swan
Most of what we know about the town’s history comes from written records, plus pictures from about 1750 onwards. But there is another source of information that shows the town in the context of the county, namely printed maps of Warwickshire. These have been produced in many formats over the past 450 years and reveal much about Stratford’s growth and development.
