The Printed Maps of Exeter
1587 - 1901


300 Years of Exeter History

by Francis Bennett and Kit Batten

with an Introduction by Dick Passmore

This site is dedicated to the memories of two dear friends who both contributed greatly to the compilation of this work.

The site is dedicated to Francis Bennett who contributed so much to the three books we published together and was a much-appreciated friend.
The site is also dedicated to Dick Passmore who provided much local know-how, a wonderful Introduction and plenty of very useful advice.
I miss them both.
