| Settlements |
Settlements on Jansson's map of Hampshire and Berkshire, 1646,
are positioned by a circle, and differentiated by added elements
and text styles. We have referred to the types of settlement as
hamlet, village or parish, and town, and city, for sake of having
some term when discussing them.
|
 |
city; circle, buildings, towers; labelled in italic block
caps, eg:-
WINCHESTER
The buildings are drawn all round the position circle, in front as
well as behind, so that the circle is in the middle of the town
viewed in perspective.
|
 |
town; circle, buildings and tower; labelled in upright
lowercase text, eg:-
Andover
Ringwood
|
|
village or parish; circle, tower; labelled in italic lowercase text, eg:-
Nether Wallop
Micheldevor
Do notice the place name, with a settlement symbol for a village:-
Without
On a forerunner map by John Speed the name of Andover Without
Hundred is engraved with the 'without' in smaller text, separated,
and near the village symbol of another place. Blaeu was fooled
by this and gave the 'without' its own village symbol; Jansson
copies the mistake.

|
|
hamlet or other small place; circle; labelled in italic
lowercase text, eg:-
Okehanger
East Stratton
