Map Naphill Common unknown date Map ref MPGG

"This is a photo of part of a map of unknown date and origin held amongst papers of the Colonial Service at the National Archives (reference MPGG1/39/4).

The map shows Naphill and the Common (spelt Napple). Coombe, Cookshall and Bradenham Farms are all named on the map, and we can see several buildings on what is now Hunts Hill Lane, and to the west. This extract also shows Downley and Bradenham. There is no key with this map so we cannot tell what the numbers represent and the circular markings on the Common itself are a mystery. It seems likely that the map was created by Officers of the Royal Military College, which had been established in 1799 at the Antelope Inn in High Wycombe's High Street (not the current Antelope in Church Square). Their training included trigonometry, surveying and map-making, so the map is likely to be an accurate representation. The College moved away from Wycombe in 1813 to Farnham, Surrey and eventually to Sandhurst, so the probable date of the map is around 1800."
