A MACHINE-READABLE MAP OF ENGLISH AND WELSH HISTORIC PARISH
BOUNDARIES
A NEW RESEARCH PROJECT AT EXETER UNIVERSITY, UK
-----------------------------------------------------------
I am pleased to announce that the UK Economic and Social
Science Research Council has agreed to fund the above
project at Exeter. Dr Richard Oliver will be employed as
research fellow from 1st January 1998. The following is a
copy of the ESRC press release:
"This project will reconstruct and make available in
electronic map form the boundaries of all the pre-1850
parishes, townships and other local administrative districts
of England and Wales (the so-called 'ancient' or 'historic'
parishes). A comprehensive gazetteer recording the archival
provenance of all the boundaries will accompany the map.
The need of such a map has been long-felt but its production
has only become realistic at relatively modest cost by the
completion of recent Leverhulme Trust and ESRC funded work
at Exeter University on tithe surveys (compiled after 1836
in the process of reforming the wqy that the Church of
England was financed) and on enclosure maps (used to record
land ownership as the process of enclosure brought about the
change from communal to individual exploitation). These
projects provide us with about 85 per cent of 'ancient
parish' boundaries. We will fill this gap by reference to
other sources, compile a complete map on a National Grid
base, and publish the map and accompanying gazetteer as a
CDROM. This will serve both users who wish to download
boundaries into a GIS platform and those who want to print a
paper copy of the boundaries in a particular locality."
