The Road from Buckingham to Bridgnorth
Banbury to Bridgnorth, and Banbury to Chipping Campden
This map shows the route between Banbury and Bridgnorth,
passing through Stratford upon Avon, Bromsgrove, and Kidderminster.
There is a continuation showing the road from Banbury to Chipping Campden.
Each of the seven ribbons that comprise the map include a compass indicating north.
Woodland, heath, and parkland are illustrated, and the distance travelled
and directions to nearby settlements are given too.
I have shown the modern spelling first and the place name as it appears on this map (c.1675) in brackets.
I have only listed the places I can readily find in a modern road atlas,
but there are many more places of interest on these maps which I have not included in my summary.
These may include rivers, ponds, churches, windmills, blacksmiths forges and bridges.
