Here is a map of the British Isles made in 1688 by Pierre Duval d'Abbeville (1618-1683), nephew of Nicolas Sanson and himself Geographer of the King. This document is special because it shows the Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms of the Heptarchy (about 600-800 A.D.) simultaneously with the main 18th. century towns.
