Ano 1601', with separate compass rose, scale of distance surmounted by dividers and a circular crest depicting the Pilkington seal of a mower with scythe, each field marked with tennants name, some faded original yellow colour marking the boundaries, creased where previously folded and with some areas of loss confined to the borders, lightly spotted and laid onto linen, the sheet measuring 803 x 767 mm An extremely scarce example of an original manuscript estate plan by Christopher Saxton (c.1543-c.1610) who is less well known as a local estate surveyor although it was the profession that dominated his later years. The title cartouche incorporates the initials of Christopher's son Robert who was then aged about sixteen and was probably given the task of drawing up the map although the writing is in Christopher's hand. The scale is sixteen perches to one inch which equates to about 92 meters to an inch. The area mapped is bounded on the north by 'The Waie from Halifax to Wakefield' and from north-east to south by an unnamed watercourse with a road traversing the southern third on the route of the present Horbury Road.
