A Plan of the Lordship of Rysam Garth in Holderness in the East Ryding of the County of Yorke, copied from an Antient Survey made in the year 1595, unsigned copy probably before 1750, pen and ink with green and yellow wash on vellum, compass (pointing downwards) and dividers, indistinct name of Richd Gee upper right, some later 18th century additions, somewhat rubbed and soiled, 57 x 72 cm While there was a surveyor named Richard Gee who worked in a number of counties and died in 1811 this Richard Gee may more likely be the owners of Rysome Manor called Richard Gee (died 1727) or his son Richard Gee (died 1791). The present map appears to be the only surviving evidence of the 1595 survey, which is not in the holdings of the East Ridings Archive Service at Beverley, nor is it (or any later copy) mentioned in the well-documented account of Holmpton in Victoria County History for Yorkshire East Riding, vol. 5 (1984), pp. 47 ff.
