Love letter to Eynsham

The cover of Jane's map of Eynsham

In 2010 Eynsham artist Jane Tomlinson put down her paint brushes and took up pen and ink to begin a drawing by hand a map of Eynsham. Jane calls the map a 'love letter' to village; it shows history, nature, people and activities as well as roads, shops and buildings.

Since her first map, Jane has gone cartography crazy and produced four more maps of places she loves: Stanton Harcourt and Woodstock in Oxfordshire, and also of Avebury in Wiltshire and her beloved home town Stratford-upon-Avon.

"After each one I finish I say 'I'm not doing any more' but I just can't resist; they're such fun to research and draw." says Jane.

Maps are available from Jane's online shop or from the the artist during the Eynsham Winter Artweekend. Cost: folded in a colour cover (pictured) for £4.99 or flat, signed, suitable for framing for £12.99.
