It’s Manorial Monday! 🎉🗺️ Our partners in the Historic Environment Record team are georeferencing digitised maps and uncovering new finds — including a cross near the church on this map of the manor of Lafrowda, St Just in Penwith. More discoveries to come!

#ManorialMonday is a hashtag we hadn't come across before. And since manors are very much *our thing* - all our parish histories describe the descent of each manor in those parishes - we approve.

It’s Manorial Monday! 🗺️🎉

We the love the hand drawn details of the water course (which looks a bit like a chain) going to Roskear Engine on this map of part of the Manor of Tehidy in Illogan.

It’s #ManorialMonday! 🥳 We’re loving the detail on this beautiful cartouche from plans for the Manor of Penpoll, once owned by John Coryton. Recently cleaned + waiting for digitisation! Surveyor James Blackmore clearly had artistic flair. 💖
