Description
Shown in the top corners are birds' eye views of Huntingdon and Ely, along with scales of paces and legends for each. Beneath the plan of Huntingdon is a history of the Earls of Huntingdon, and coats of arms of nine of the Earls. On the other side is a history of the city of Ely, the Royal coat of arms, and a scale of miles. The routes of the roman Watling and Ermine streets are marked on this map, along with the forests, fens, dykes, rivers, hills and windmills that made up this old English county.
