#OTD 1629 d. #JohnSpeed, one of the most famous English mapmakers. Born c.1551, he married Susanna Draper in c.1571 & between them mapped out a large family of 12 sons & 6 daughters! Sadly, blindness & pain from the stone plagued John in his final years.
Il #28luglio 1629 moriva ##JohnSpeed. Il più famoso cartografo inglese. La sua opera più nota è il primo atlante delle isole britanniche, il Teatro dell'Impero di Gran Bretagna (1612). Di professione faceva il sarto ma trascorreva il suo tempo libero come cartografo e storico.

F is for #Farndon adj to R #Dee. It means Fern Hill but also is #Rhedynfre in Welsh
The #Romans settled here but was 1st recorded in AD924 when Edward the Elder, King of the #AngloSaxons, died here.
My fave fact is that #JohnSpeed (1542–1629) the cartographer, was born here.
#JohnSpeed 37 years ago today, John Speed was murdered whilst on duty in Leeds. #Police #ThinBlueLine
