Special Meeting 2pm (contact tlhg@mac.com for details)
We will look at the 18c/19c maps we have (including the ones we have added detail to) and what they tell us about Tintinhull at that time. The objective is then to take this forward together with the 18c/19c leads in the VCH of Tintinhull to eventually build up a picture using the VCH as the spine, just as we did for the TLHG publication "Presence of the Past"
