Notes:


A map of the known world created in 1300 surprisingly accurate in their understanding of the middle east and Europe however the rest of the world is fussy so a good number of mythical creatures inserted to fill in areas, the fact was that they really did not know what was there, the whole map is centred around Jerusalem. Hereford is marked however you can now read it because 800 years of people prodding at it has left a smudge. currently is a sealed glass box in a public area with a corridor and a door at each end. the map is contained in a glass box
