Historic heath shown on the 1777 Chapman & Andre Map and shown on the County Series at 1:2500 Scale Epoch 1 Map (1874-1887). There does not appear to be a distinct boundary between Stanway Heath and Lexden Heath (MCC9144); they simply merge together to form one large area of heathland (262 ha. in area) on the early maps (Lexden on the east side, Stanway on the west).
