| Christopher Saxton's map of Yorkshire, corner decoration of (West Ardsley) |
 | Undated.
Image shows a corner decoration embellishing Christopher Saxton's map of Yorkshire which he made in 1577. Saxton was brought up in Dunningley and was educated at Cambridge University. He served as an apprentice map-maker to John Rudd, the vicar of Dewsbury, around 1570. Saxton is famous for making the first national atlas and his great achievement was noted by Queen Elizabeth I. She gave him the rights to publish his maps in his own name in 1577 to avoid plagiarism. He has since been described as ‘the father of English cartography’.
