Summary
List of fields in the Manor of Brockhampton. Framed and glazed. This is best described as a list rather than an actual map of the manor of Brockhampton. It is divided into three columns according to which farm the land was allocated to. The land is further divided into areas such as 'Bringsty Wood' and then divided down into separate indentifiable, named plots. Alongside each plot is a measurement of its size, which is broken down into Acres, Roods (1/4 of an Acre) and Perches (1/40 of a Rood). Similar to the other estate maps in the collection, this would have been used by the land owner to manage the estate and quickly indentify which plot was farmed by a particular tenant farmer.
