Many thanks to all those who have offered more information and comments
concerning Lord Burghley's Maps.
I was aware of the one or ones he had prepared for Lancashire in
part to keep track of families suspected of being outwardly conforming Church
Papists and in some cases actual recusants or pro-active crypto-Roman
Catholics -- with Lancashire known for being a region where many clung to "Ye
Olde Faith" longer, even after the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588.
However, that was also true for Warwickshire, especially the gentry
in the portion to the south and also parts of Worcestershire and
Gloucestershire that bordered onto Warwickshire.
So my main interest is trying to determine if Lord Burghley also had
similar maps made for these shire, especially Warwickshire. Perhaps
someone knows the answer off the top of their head.
