Robert Baugh’s Map Of Shropshire 1808 Robert Baugh of Llanymynech published the first 1 inch to 1 mile survey of the county in 1808. It is a major source for numerous aspects of the county’s history as it records turnpike roads, industries, canals, settlements, archaeological antiquities, parks, enclosures and other features of landscape history at an important period of the county’s historical development. In 1983 the Shropshire Archaeological Society published a reprint of this important map. The nine original sheets of the map were reproduced in facsimile, and were accompanied by a twelve page pamphlet introduction in which Dr. Barrie Trinder provided an informative commentary on the map and its value to students of Shropshire’s past.
