19th Century Map of Clyst St. Mary


19th Century Map of Clyst St. Mary

This is an interesting map that shows the old Roman Road where the Medieval Bridge was later built showing a real continuity in transport infrastructure. The map also shows the Winslade House and St. Mary's Church. Interstingly it shows the Exeter old lunatic asylum and also has space to mark where the 1455 battle took place although it omits to mark the two Prayer book rebellion battles that took place on this map also. It does show the Mill where Lord Grey crossed with his mercenaries to attack the rebels from the rear.
