Image description

Add MS 8987 f. 137. This is a coloured map of Aldeburgh in Suffolk. It is probably a copy of an earlier map. It dates from the 1500s but a more specific date and information of the draughtsman remain unknown. It is clear from the details included here that the draughtsman was concerned with defence. The placement of cannons is recorded, as are two beacons, three windmills and a towered church which could also be used as vantage points.
