A3 MAP OF WILTSHIRE PARISHES 1936 £1 £1.7 £2.70
A composite map showing ecclesiastical and civil parishes from various dates with registration districts as at 1936. Also showing contiguous parishes in adjacent counties. With a grid index and dates of county boundary changes. Folded to A4 size. This is a very useful map fulfilling a great need. Note that due to many changes in parishes since 1837, when WFHS transcripts cease, care should be taken when comparing this map with parishes transcribed.
