In 2001 a map, used in various texts referring to Doddington and March, and whose whereabouts had been unknown for at least 48 years was deposited with Cambridgeshire Archives. The map of Manor of Doddington, that also includes the town of March and the village of Wimblington, is of historical significance as well as being of great local interest. It shows the houses, fields, tracks and roads of Doddington and its hamlets of March and Wimblington, as well as providing information about the people who lived on the manor.
The Cambridgeshire Records Society, with the permission of the owner of the map and Cambridgeshire Archives, has reproduced full size copies of the map and produced a booklet detailing the research undertaken by the authors, on the date of the map, its maker and why it was made, and what we can learn from it about the history of Doddington, March and Wimblington.
The 71 page booklet, which also contains transcripts of key documents of the period, along with the 4 sheets that make up the map is presented in a specifically designed folder.
David Edwards and William Franklin will present the work undertaken and the finished result.
Copies will be on sale after the presentation, priced at £24.00
