Unfinished Original Plan which seems to be the only product surviving from the survey of the Bagshot area of 1792.
The plan lacks any names but the town close to its east edge is Farnham and the village near its west edge is Crondall. The road running north from Farnham which forms the eastern limit of the plan is the modern A325. The area SE of Farnham shows how the plan would have started, with just a road traverse. The scale appears to be 3 inches to the mile, which would mark the abandonment of the 6-inch scale as standard following the completion of the Isle of Wight.
Comparison with OSD 125 (probably of 1806) shows shrinkage of the open heaths, looking more like gradual encroachment than Parliamentary enclosure.
