A new project for 2026 #MyFamilyHistory52Maps

#1 Map of the Bushey Hall Estate, Hertfordshire, 1685

This is what the place I live looked like nearly 350 years ago. The future site of my house is towards the top of the map, by the right hand row of trees.

Bushey Hall has long since gone...
Held At: Hertfordshire Archives and Local Studies Title: Manuscript map (in two parts) of the Bushey Hall Estate, property of Sir Robert Marsham A Survey & Ground Plot of a certain Parcell of Land called Bushy Hall Lying and being in the Parish of Bushy in the county of Hertfordshire being a Parcel of the Possessions of Sir Robert Marsham Measured and thus Drawn in the Year 1685 and Containes a r p [No surveyor] Description: Unspecified acreage in North West Bushey, East of River Colne and North West of Bushey Hall. Fieldnames; names of adjacent landowners. Acreages; trees; line of river; lines of views to Bushey and to watford Church. Field boundaries outlined in green. Compass rose. The map has a very ornate Scale, Cartouche, and border (on two sides only) featuring cherubs with various surveying instruments, monkeys, squirrels, peacocks, and foliage, but all are pre-engraved with colouring and details of map in title added by hand. Underneath the scale the name of the engraver is given as Gulielms Beng. The northern-most part of the map has been roughly cut off and is missing. Size 32x22 Inches, Scale 24.8 Inches to 1 Mile Date: 1685
