BBC Two - Map Man, Series 2, Thomas Raven's Clandeboye Estate Maps

Nicholas Crane studies Thomas Raven's 1625 maps of the Clandeboye Estate in Ireland.

Nicholas Crane tries to locate a lost village using Thomas Raven's 1625 maps of the Clandeboye Estate in the north of Ireland.

Back in the 1600s, the north of Ireland attracted Protestant colonists who came from Scotland and England to acquire land and enjoy a more prosperous life. Two of these colonists were James Hamilton, 1st Viscount Clandeboye, and Sir Hugh Montgomery. Their lands adjoined each other and for thirty years, they wrangled over the border dividing their territories. Thomas Raven was commissioned by Hamilton to map his estates and, despite the dangers to all mapmakers in Ireland, Raven took it on. 

Can Nicholas Crane make sense of these complicated maps? Can he discover the much-disputed border? And can he locate the lost village, plotted on Raven's map but nowhere to be seen in the landscape today?

BBC Two is a lively channel of depth and substance, carrying a range of knowledge-building programming complemented by great drama, comedy and arts.
