Finsbury Archers Map of Targets article

Saw this on Twitter. Interesting blogpost by the Bodleian Library at Oxford University about the Finsbury Archers map of their target grounds. Amazing detail in the map.

Fascinating. That's a huge number of targets on an enormous range, love some of the target names. Wonder what made the maiden blush? Thanks for posting.

I didn't see anywhere how big this thing is. Do you happen to know?

I’m afraid I don’t. Folded, it looks about the size of a legal pad to me. The post says it is small, and suggests you could fit it in a quiver, but no specific dimensions are listed.

You’re welcome. I agree with you about the names. Theefe in the hedge must have been where a lot of arrows where lost, perhaps? I may borrow that one for a spot behind my house.  ;D
