[edit] Ordnance Survey error
[edit] Wrong James?
According to an official history of the Ordnance Survey, the original source of the "enduring archaeological blunder" was General Sir Henry James, director from 1854 to 1875. (Owen, Tim; Pilbeam, Elaine (1992). Ordnance Survey. Southampton: Ordnance Survey, p 64. ISBN 0319004988. ) General Edward Renouard James (1833-1909) wasn't at work until about twenty years after the mistake (but he may have perpetuated it). --Old Moonraker 21:49, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] What surveyor?
But I believe Edward Renouard James carried out the main survey work of Surrey in the 1860s. It seems likely he knew Albert Way, antiquary of Betchworth, who published a note on the Pilgrims' Way in Dean Stanley's 'Historical Memorials of Canterbury' in 1872. This got much more attention than James' pamphlet of the previous year. Crispinpaine 11:53, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
