Excerpt from The Fens and Floods of Mid-Lincolnshire: With a Description of the River Witham, in Its Neglected State Before 1762, and Its Improvements Up to 1825, With Maps, Plans, &C Lieutenant of the County (earl Brownlow), were desirous of having a plan of the Burton Hunt likewise. Being aware that the Great Ordnance Survey of England and Wales was then going forward, his lordship suggested that the Ordnance Oflice authorities (his Grace the Duke of Wellington being then the master-general, ) should be applied to, to ascertain if the survey of Lincolnshire could be undertaken at once; the reply was to the effect that the Surveyors were then engaged in parts distant from Lincolnshire, viz. Shropshire, and could not be removed therefrom without disadvantage, nevertheless if it could be guaranteed that five hundred copies of the map of Lincolnshire would be subscribed for at five guineas each, they would bring their Surveyors and set them at work immediately. The gentlemen of the county and neighbourhood entered heartily into the matter, - Lord Brownlow, we believe, making himself responsible for the amount, - and the work was commenced in 1819.
