Introduction
to the Survey -
In 1792 a survey of the the parish of
Ash was carried out by T. Fulljames of Orpington. Contained in a folio volume
are a magnificent series of maps (20½" X 28½") made at a scale of four chains
to the inch (20" to the mile) all in colour. The book
includes an index of names, a schedule of the 92 holdings, with the acreages
and modes of cultivation of more than 600 parcels of land, and a summary of
the totals of monies paid in lieu of tithe in kind. It finishes with a
detailed perambulation of the bounds of the parish. The book, catalogue
number P8/28/1 is now in the Medway Archives at Strood, Kent. See

Perambulation of the Parish - a detailed
description of the parish boundaries
The
Maps T. Fulljames
drew a map of the land of each owner of the parish, and arranged these
on a total of 37 pages. Some pages have just the land of one owner,
while others where the holdings are smaller have a number of owners.
Each field shown, has a different letter identifying the owner, with a
number for each field. Fulljames started with capital letters A-Z &c,
then lower case a-z, then lower case in gothic script and finished with
capital letters in italics A-N. In the transcription of the
schedule, the map identifying letters have been converted to the
following.
Capital letters A-Z &c prefixed by 1, lower case prefixed by 2,
gothic lower case by 3, capital italics by 4.
By the kind permission of the staff at Medway Archives,
the book of maps was photographed using a digital camera. This has lead to a small amount of distortion around
the edges of some maps, and is particularly noticeable when the individual
maps are combined into a mosaic. The individual maps are displayed at
their actual size at a scale of four chains
to the inch (20" to the mile). Although some of them measure as
much as 63 x 48 cms, they are displayed at a resolution of 72dpi which
keeps the file sizes relatively small, the largest being 178kb.
