The Gough Map or Bodleian Map[1] is a Late Medieval map of the island of Great Britain. Its precise dates of production and authorship are unknown. It is named after Richard Gough, who bequeathed the map to the Bodleian Library in Oxford 1809. He acquired the map from the estate of the antiquarian Thomas "Honest Tom" Martin in 1774.[2] Numerous copies of it have been made, with an interactive online version created at Queen's University, Belfast.[3] It measures 115 by 56 cm.[4]
