Dear Nick
I thought you might be interested to know that the online atlas resulting
from our research project on Edward I's new towns of England and Wales is
now available online (see below). Could you possibly forward the details via
your cartographic contacts?
Many thanks and all best wishes

Queen's University Belfast and the Archaeology Data Service are pleased to
announce the launch of 'Mapping Medieval Townscapes: a digital atlas of the
new towns of Edward I':
http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/catalogue/resources.html?atlas_ahrb_2005
Funded by the AHRC and created by Keith Lilley, Chris Lloyd and Steve Trick,
the atlas uses mapping as a medium to explore how urban landscapes were
shaped in the middle ages. This atlas project has deepened understanding of
the forms and formation of medieval towns, and is the first to have combined
Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Global Positioning Systems (GPS)
to map and analyse medieval urban landscapes. Delivered by the ADS using
innovative Web GIS technologies this project represents a significant new
resource for all scholars and students of the medieval period, as well as
those concerned with interpreting and managing historic built environments.
