John Ogilby published the first ever road atlas of Britain in 1675 but why did he concentrate on outlying parts of Wales (in itself an outlier)?

This 4 part TV series by the former Monty Python cast member, Terry Jones, reveals the curious background of political intrigue behind the atlas.  You need a subscription to Amazon TV to watch but it’s well worth it.  Great views of the beautiful Welsh countryside and a fascinating story of political intrigue and religious schisms that created this world first in map making.
