In his History of the QTP (1987) Carr reported two editions of maps of Lancashire. Three maps are known: one of the County Palatine of Lancaster and two of the County Palatine of Lancashire. The maps published in 1977 and 1980 are unusual in that they are the same design, only the limitation has been changed.
