A manuscript map of a town. To the left of the map is a green expanse with windmills, livestock and farmers. In the centre of the image is the town of Kingston upon Hull. The town is divided into sections, with buildings surrounding green areas. The key on the far right of the image lists the town’s important landmarks, including two churches (St Mary’s and Trinity), a guild hall, a free school, and six named gates which allow entry through the town walls. The town is protected by a fortified wall on the left side, and by a river on the right-hand side. Ships are shown on the river, and in a larger body of water at the bottom of the image. Across the river are three large buildings, labelled: the block houses, the castle, and the fortification.
