A very early partly coloured map of part of the parish of Dormston, seen and copied by the Worcestershire antiquary Peter Prattinton in 1826, who described it as 'a very old rude map', and then lost to sight for 180 years. It is of particular interest as an early visual representation of a still rural part of the county, with sketches of houses and other buildings, recently inclosed areas, and some precise information about ownership for some areas.
