Were the seventeenth century tapestry maps woven at Barcheston ?
The idea that the venture continued into the seventeenth century originated before any research had been undertaken. It was based on the belief that the later tapestry maps had also been woven at Barcheston. But by the 1660s or 1670s, the probable date for the later maps, tapestry weaving was concentrated at Mortlake and it is almost certain that Ralph the Great Sheldon had copies made there.
