About the map
Faden's original map was produced in six sheets and this digital redrawing faithfully copies the original. The only change is that the hachures, used to show Norfolk's minor hills, have been omitted. The original map was often hand-coloured and this edition reflects one such map in the colours used.

The map shows the estates of the major and lesser landowners at the end of the 18th century. It details the North Norfolk Coast, the Broads and fenlands prior to the extensive changes, due to both man and nature, which were to take place over the subsequent 200 years. It shows evidence of industrial archaeology with brick and lime kilns and evidence of agricultural land that had recently been enclosed. Within villages and parishes it indicates the pattern of settlement adjacent to the commons that were about to disappear.
The town maps of Kings Lynn, Great Yarmouth and Swaffham are particularly detailed. Faden's map has many minor errors, churches that have been slightly misplaced or omitted, names incorrectly spelt and these have not been altered in this redrawing.
This edition is larger than the original and is printed at the equivalent to 1.4 inches to the mile.
Various sections of the map are available, or the whole county on a single sheet. Please see ‘how to order’ for layout details and prices.
