@ihtaria.bsky.socialFethard's walls are more than monuments. They define a medieval landscape where market, church, streets and gateways still tell the story of an ambitious Anglo-Norman borough and the community that sustained it for over 800 years
#MapMonday #IHTA
@ihtaria.bsky.socialWithin the walls stood some of Fethard's most impressive medieval buildings.
Holy Trinity parish church, the Augustinian friary, Court Castle and Edmond's Castle reveal a wealthy urban community whose commercial and religious life was concentrated inside the walled enclosure
#MapMonday #IHTA
@ihtaria.bsky.socialThe only surviving medieval town gate is North Gate, built in the 15th century.
Other gates once punctuated the circuit, including Water Gate, Pierce's Gate, Sparrow Gate and Madam Castle, a fortified gate tower at the western entrance that survived until the 19th century.
#MapMonday #IHTA
@ihtaria.bsky.socialVisitors approaching the market had to pass through gates and negotiate deliberately angled streets. Routes from North Gate, Water Gate and Sparrow Gate did not lead directly to the market but guided people through the town's controlled urban space.

@ihtaria.bsky.socialFethard was established on an elevated site within a loop of the River Clashawley. The location offered natural protection, fertile agricultural land and commanding views of the surrounding countryside.
Its Irish name, Fiodh Aird, means "the high wood".

@ihtaria.bsky.socialFethard is one of Ireland's finest surviving medieval walled towns. Founded in the early 13th cent as an Anglo-Norman borough, Fethard was laid out as a planned settlement whose streets, market place and walls still shape the town today.

@ihtaria.bsky.socialThis week we are in #Fethard for our #MapMonday thread.

@exeterunispeccoll.bsky.socialThis 'Plan of the City & Suburbs of Exeter', dating back to 1792, was surveyed by Charles Tozer and engraved by Thomas Yeakell.
Which landmarks can you identify that still exist today? And what has changed?

![Plan of Exeter, extending as far as St Thomas in the south and to the top of Sidwell Street in the north. It includes a legend to the churches in Exeter in the upper right corner and a dedication statement to the Mayor, Recorder, Sheriff, Aldermen and commonalty of Exeter in the upper left corner. It also features a drawing of a woman (goddess?), seated under a tree, holding a shield and wearing a blue dress, and indicating with her left hand towards the title and Rougemont Castle in the background. Near her left foot is a pile of books, including one marked 'Hist[or]y of Devon'. The plan is mostly shaded in greys and browns, with some accents in blue and yellow.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:u3d3sbdevvp2kehpj6zyhzzn/bafkreibbia6gosxxhhprvige3htm7nx3gayjqvfyj4fdvd4g642fytf76i@jpeg)

@nordregio.bsky.social🗺️ The Nordic population is projected to grow by 2045.
Growth concentrates around urban and coastal areas.
Many rural, remote and northern municipalities are expected to shrink. In some areas, declines could exceed 10%.

@bcsmaps.bsky.social#MapMonday On this day in 1915, Cecil Chubb bought the prehistoric monument of Stonehenge for £6,600. It was later donated to the British nation.
We love this map by John Speed (1552–1629) historian and cartographer of the site.

@riordanfrost.bsky.socialHappy #MapMonday! This interactive map of interstate migration from Pew has a striking finding: pandemic-era migration into New England wasn't driven by young adults, but instead by higher-income working-age & retirement-age movers.
@goldwagnathan.bsky.socialHappy #MapMonday! Is this what the world could have looked like if Alexander the Great hadn't died in 323 BCE????
No.
