Enclosure
Enclosure maps date from the late-eighteenth century to the mid-nineteenth century. They may often provide the earliest detailed survey of a parish. The original enclosure maps from which the digitized copies were made are held by the Norfolk Record Office, where the original maps can be consulted with their awards.

Tithe
Tithe maps date from 1836 to circa 1850. They form one of the earliest detailed surveys of rural Norfolk. The original tithe maps from which the digitized copies were made are held by the Norfolk Record Office, where the original maps can be consulted together with their apportionments. The apportionments give details of land ownership and land use.

Norfolk - Faden (1797)
The first map of Norfolk at the scale of one-inch to the mile was published by William Faden, a cartographer, engraver and publisher of maps, who became geographer to King George III and to the Prince of Wales. Surveying for this map was carried out between 1790 and 1794. The map was issued in six sheets and shows a wealth of natural and man-made features.

Norfolk - Bryant (1826)
Andrew Bryant published a dozen county maps from 1822, before going out of business in 1835 due to the increasing difficulty in competing with the government-supported Ordnance Survey. Bryant's team surveyed Norfolk between 1824 and 1826, and the map was published in six sheets on 1 December 1826. At 10 miles to 12 inches, this map is at a slightly larger scale than Faden's, and so is able to show even more detail.
