Hi Diana, Also worth looking at the National Library of Scotland maps, which cover England too, here: http://maps.nls.uk/index.html and click on "Find by place" Although not so good at identifying parish boundaries, it has historic maps that are sometimes more suited to understanding road layouts in the past. Best wishes, Mike Gould Leicestershire -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Diana Stevens via Sent: 05 June 2016 07:58 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [DEV] Historic Parishes of England and Wales Thanks Michael, Paul, Brian & Elizabeth for your suggestions. I just want a print/image that shows the terrain with the parish boundaries marked on it. The GENUKI maps are great, I hoped the authors might offer a print service. Distances don't mean much if there is a mountain or river in the way. Its nice to be able to see the place names, roads etc. The LDS maps are OK, I've used them before but the background detail is fuzzy. I have plenty of maps of the area including Parish Maps and an old OS Map that I bought in 1996 at the Kentisbeare General Store (once run by Samuel Ackland, a distant cousin) when we kept getting lost in the lanes.
