Description: This map records field names within Charlton Grange in Shawbury Parish. It is based on a map of an estate of Sir Andrew Vincent Corbet Bt. dating to 1846 . Field names are an invaluable source of information for historians, geographers and archaeologists alike. They can be used to suggest who owned the land and how it may have been used in the past. This map was compiled by Mr George Foxall. Starting in 1961 he worked for over a quarter of a century to produce some 500 maps covering the county of Shropshire. They are held at Shropshire Archives in Shrewsbury.
