Maps reflect not only levels of geographical knowledge and cartographical sophistication, but also the preoccupations and priorities of the age in which they made and, not infrequently, the political motives of their makers. Philip Parker uses maps of all types and the complex information they contain to trace the history of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland from prehistory - as depicted in the 13th century by Matthew Paris' map of pre-Roman roads - to 2016, and the map showing the pattern of voting in the EU Referendum.
