Description:
This detail from 'A map of the upper common of Drysdale [Dryfesdale]' drawn in 1737 by Charles Mercer shows the common divided into blocks. A table lists the values of each between 2d and 18d an acre. However, the colours do not correspond to values. Each landowner has been allocated a share of the common, including both better and poorer ground, presumably in accordance with their original rights. The allocations are not equal in area. Certain areas of moss have been excluded from the division. The bounds of each of these proposed divisions is marked with a dotted line, marked at junctions with letters. In the key, each allocation is described by these letters. Each is adjoining the land to which it has been allocated.
