Ottershaw Park from Ottershaw Map

Note: 1871 base map with modern features shown. Courtesy The Ottershaw Society.

John Senex map of Surrey, 1729

Note: There is no evidence of a mansion at Ottershaw at this date

Image not available

John Roque map of Surrey, 1762

Note: There is no evidence of a mansion at Ottershaw at this date

Emmanuel Bowen map of Surrey, 1767

Note: There is no evidence of a mansion at Ottershaw at this date

Lindley & Crossley map of Surrey, 1789

Note:This is the earliest map showing a mansion at Ottershaw. Clusters of buildings on the site of of the Bothy and Home Farm, can also be made out. The ponds on both the East and West of the estate are shown as well as the two South lodges. Curious misspelling of Durnford!

Cary from Maps of England, 1794

Note: curious spelling of Ottershaw!

Enclosure map of Walton Leigh Manor, 1802

Note: The green area is the pre-existing Ottershaw Park while the plots to the East and North-east numbered 201,202,252-255, 274-278 were purchased in 1801 or awarded to Edmund Boehm on December 18th 1804 under the 1800 Enclosure Act. It is evident that between the drawing of the map in 1802 and the awards in 1804 certain plots were re-allocated. The two original South Lodges are marked as are the two original lodges near the present site of Tanglewood. An avenue of trees leading to them and with ornamental pools either side are also shown. These pre-dated the present North Lodges (built c. 1805). The original Mansion is clearly marked (without wings). The site of the present Bothy has a collection of buildings different in layout to later plans.

Ordnance Surveyor's Drawing 1806/7

Note: Surveyed 1806/7. The original large-scale drawing made for the first one-inch-to-the-mile maps published many years later. Building are shown in red. Note that the North Lodges and Tanglewood have been added while the two original inner lodges are still shown. The Bothy area is clearly a different layout to present with what appear to be additional buildings (?stables) on the southern side. This is probably the most important maps showing the layout of the early development of Ottershaw Park.

Ordnance Survey "old series" map - 1816

Note: Surveyed 1811. Note the loss of detail on reduction of scale to 1"/mile compared to the earlier 1806/6 drawing (above).
