settlements

Senex's Hampshire 1719-57

settlements Settlements on the route are drawn as blocks beside the road, indicating the size of the place and perhaps giving some idea of street layout; these settlements might not include the church which would have been there. A settlement off the route might be indicated by a drawing of a church - that is what would be visible from the route. An important house might be shown by a drawing of a house.
