Are you proud of where you live?

​

Do you wish you knew its history better?

​

Would you like your home to display both an artwork, and an education, which tells the fascinating story of your region, in one beautiful document?

​

Maps With Meanings is a large concept built on a simple idea: to provide old-style maps of every English county, with the place-names written as they actually meant, originally. For example, Whitby is written 'The White Village', and Canterbury as 'The Stronghold of the People of Edge Land.'

​

Each map is the result of extensive research I've undertaken since 2014, and provides a unique historical document that makes a fascinating point of interest in any room. Maps are sized either A3, printed on parchment ('old-looking') card, or A2 on white card, and also incorporate prints of two of my original artworks, showing distinctive views in the county.

​

Each map costs £20 (A3), or £45 (A2), which includes packing in a rigid tube, and an extra sheet on which the names are explained.  Both are available via my online shop

​

Please contact me via the next page on this site. I have a number of counties already completed, and if yours is one as-yet undone, I will prioritise it, so you too can own a piece of this fascinating - and unique - project, as soon as possible.
