Summary:	"In the early 1680s a land surveyor called William Hill drew maps and made surveys of estates at Longford, Church Aston and Newport in Shropshire. In this volume we print Hill's work and identify both him and the owner of the estate he mapped. We also show that Hill's maps and surveys are only a part of a much larger volume of maps and surveys of the estates of Thomas Talbot of Longford, now dispersed, and that he also worked for Talbot's cousins, the earls of Shrewsbury. The volume then gathers together other eighteenth-century sources for these generally poorly documented estates. Drawing on Hill's survey, the introduction describes the Talbot estate in and around Longford in the 1680s including its landscape. It then gives an account of their development in the eighteenth century before they were broken up by sale in 1787-88." --
