FAQ
Some helpful Questions and answers about our maps
HOW LONG WILL THE MAP TAKE TO MAKE?
As soon as we’ve received payment your map is in progress, it can take up to a week to make and a few days to arrive in the post.

WHERE DO THE NAMES COME FROM?
The historical names are on a separate list to the map and they correspond to numbers on the field plots.
WHY ARE SOME MAPS NOT AVAILABLE?
As there were only 3 original maps made of the parish, some have become lost or too badly damaged to be photographed.
WHAT MATERIAL IS IT PRINTED ON?
It’s printed on high quality art paper.
WHAT SIZES ARE AVAILABLE?
Maps can be made in any size up to A0
WHY CANT WE SEE A PROOF BEFORE PAYING?
Our maps need a fair amount of work done to them before they are ready to view.
We are also subject to copyright restrictions. When your map is created by us, we can then show you a proof before it goes to print..
WHY IS THE PROPERTY ORIENTATED DIFFERENTLY?
On the tithe maps the Orientation isn’t set north to south as it is on the OS maps.
We are unable to change this as it is the way the map is made.
