Appendix III

Changes to Second Edition

On the whole, there are no great difference between the two editions. However, the Dedication (see illustration below) and the Preface have disappeared, but the Contents pages, including the Parochial Description - now amended to include the two missing churches - and the List of (new) Plates have been brought to the front, hence the pagination is 4 or 5 pages off. Otherwise, the printer has attempted to keep the text to the original pagination while making marginal changes. These include generally modernising both spelling and layout (e.g., tryals to trials, Taylors to tailors, 60 to sixty, Henry 2nd to Henry II, l. to £, and losing the carry over word at foot of page), two or three other spelling improvements (e.g. Countess Weare to Weir, but to butt of wine).


In Chapter II a new story has been introduced, the Awful Visitation of 1080, of thunder and lightning confined to Exeter and not otherwise recorded (2nd Ed. p.25).  There are two or three further additions, e.g. (p.28) Siege of Exeter Castle in 1140 by Stephen, (p.30, previously 31) Baker´s Chronicles, and Jews buried in Exeter, meaning that page settings had to be adjusted accordingly. The text page matches again after page 36. Pages 48-51 and 68-69 show minor changes of this nature.

All the Errata from the First Edition are incorporated. All of these occurred in Chapter IV and all but that on page 223 (removed) updated. All mention of Isaac has been corrected to Izacke. Page 221 Downes now corrected (not in original list). Page 397 (1st Ed. p.392) shows a new footnote and a new title has been introduced on page 403 (p.408).

 Chapter IV:  John Hayman (Henry Besley) Thomas Besley was born in 1760 and advertised himself as printer, bookseller and stationer or bookbinder and was listed in various directories of the time at Southgate Street (1801 and 1811); at Holy Trinity (1803); and at 76, Bell Hill, South Street (between 1816 and 1834). Thomas and Jane had 6 children including Thomas Junior (he became an independent printer in Exeter) and Henry who eventually became partner and successor to the family business. Few local printers published extensively but Henry Besley could claim to have been one of the most prolific of local publishers. [36] It would appear that the Besleys managed to obtain the plates which had been used for his map of 1805. They were either in contact with John Hayman or with the publishers. As both Besley and Hayman were living and working in Exeter, the former would seem the more likely. The Besleys did not simply reprint but also expanded the plates, added new title and imprints and i

Appendix I:  The illustrations in Jenkins´ History of Exeter.   Alexander Jenkins and John Hayman seem to have collaborated on only one of the 11 other plates or illustrations which appear in Jenkins´ History. Most of these would appear to have been engraved by Jenkins himself in wood. As he pointed out in his Preface: The major part of the plates, if not executed in the masterly stile (sic) of modern publications, will commemorate to posterity the places they are intended to represent . William Upcott William Upcott in his popular bibliography of works on English topography [i] wrote a complete listing of Jenkins´ illustrations: 1. The Gateway of Rougemont Castle, Exeter. J. H. Williams del. et a. f. fec. Exeter. To face the Title. 2. Plan of Exeter. Folded. Drawn by J. Hayman, engraved by B Baker and D. Wright, Islington, 1806. p.3. 3. Danmonia Romana. A. Jenkins fec. p.6. 4. Saxon Danmonia. A. Jenkins fec. p.16. 5. Ancient Cannon, and Anglo Saxon Coins &c.

  Chapter I: The Exeter City Maps of John Hayman   John Hayman prepared two maps of Exeter in the years 1805 and 1806. The maps were produced for two very different publications. However, John Hayman is not known to have drawn any further maps and only a few other works of his are to be found in museums. This article looks at the two maps in detail and gives a brief overview of what is known about him. Introduction When a new guide to the scenery of England and Wales was published in the early 1800s it coincided with the production of specially prepared maps and plans, although these did not appear immediately in the new publication: The Beauties of England and Wales. Some 58 maps and 22 city plans were produced, and the large majority were the co-production of two London specialists. Of the city plans few were the result of “local” knowledge, i.e., produced largely by a local artist. John Hayman was one of only four locally employed artists engaged to produce a completely new town
