From a edition of Saxton’s atlas by Philip Lea circa 1693, this plate did not appear in Christopher Saxton’s original atlas. It is engraved by Francis Lamb and made its first appearance in the earlier 1689 edition by Philip Lea which survives in just three known examples. Here the map is found in its second state with the addition of roads, crosses, crowns and a mitre. Batten & Bennett no. 19 state 2; Skelton (1970) pp. 175 & 179.
