  • The full title of this map reads

'A plan of the several farms and tenements in the parishes of old and new Radnor belonging to Percival Lewis Esq.'

This was probably the Percival Lewis who lived at Downton Hall, about a mile east of New Radnor.  He was the principal landowner of the area during the late eighteenth century and was appointed Sheriff of the town in 1789.  He was also one of a number of Radnorshire squires who used to meet at the Grays Inn Coffee House where the Society of Gentlemen of Radnorshire was founded in 1789.
