Saxton's county maps gained instant recognition at the highest political levels-even while they were still in course of production, between 1574 and 1578, Lord Burghley pulled and annotated early proofs. Saxton's maps were planimetrically superior to those of his predecessors. See ODNB for a full Bio.
