I should do one of these for Suffolk but I don't know how to do maps in Google... I did this one in 2018

Can I ask you both what sort of sources you use? Both your maps have great coverage while I feel like I'm scratching about in my endeavours 😅

A whole variety, really - medieval chronicles, Victorian newspapers, antiquarian writings, place-names, the modern Fairy Census… anything I could lay my hands on!

Brilliant, thankyou. I've just started a project to crossreference stories from antiquarian books - so perhaps I'm on the right track!

Most are from local history/folklore books? Plus some from local archives (ie unpublished journals).

What a fascinating map! Thanks so much for sharing.
