Tudor Map of London 1520

This is another Tudor mapping project. This time it hopes to create a new map fitted to the modern street plan showing the identified parts of Tudor London. And they are printing it!

Layers of London Project

This is a project to create an online mapping project for the history of London. I can't yet see how it is going to work. It has a lot of ambition and very little detail as yet. Vanessa Harding said the Tudor Map of London project she and Caroling Barron have been working on will link to it. https://layersoflondon.blogs.sas.ac.uk/

"The Agas Map." and the Map of Early Modern London project

This is one of two really great mapping projects ongoing about Tudor London.  This one is based at the University of Victoria and is an attempt to populate a digital version of Agas' Early Tudor London Map with information from Stow's 'Survey of London'  and other sources . I found it very useful for my research for my Cornhill Walk. I also felt sad as I was working reading Stow and looking at hard copies of maps, and then found it all on a plate on this web site. So it felt like an end of an era. This is the reference and the link.   Jenstad, Janelle . The Agas Map. The Map of Early Modern London . Ed. Janelle Jenstad . Victoria: University of Victoria.
