John Speed's map of Hampshire,
originally engraved by Hondius in 1611. John Speed
(1552-1629)
Born at Farndon in Cheshire and followed his father's trade as a
tailor. By 1584 he had moved to London with his wife (Susanna who bore
twelve sons and six daughters) and been made a Freeman of Merchant
Tailors in 1580.He was a keen amateur historian and map maker,
producing maps for the Merchant Tailors in 1598. Became a member of the
Society of Antiquaries where it is likely that he came into contact
with leading historians of the day such as Sir Robert Cotton, William
Camden, whose text he had read, and perhaps even Christopher Saxton.
His interests came to the notice Sir Fulke Greville who made an
allowance so that he should be free to write a history of England and,
by courtesy of Queen Elizabeth, he worked from a room in the Custom
House.
