Holdingham 1796



Map of Holdingham, a small hamlet on the outskirts of (but now almost entirely subsumed within) Sleaford, Lincolnshire, home of Richard of Haldingham author of the Hereford Cathedral Mappa Mundi. This map was created as part of investigations into a middle Saxon settlement and 13th century manor house on the north side of the village. Really just a Photoshop job. Starting from a poor black and white photocopy, the end result is much more pleasing (although the canvas texture map may be a step too far).
