17th-century map of Cheshire, by Wenceslaus Hollar

This 17th-century map of "The County Palatine of Chester" by Wenceslaus Hollar (1607–77) shows the county's seven hundreds. These administrative divisions, first recorded in the mid-13th century, originated in the twelve hundreds of the Domesday survey.
