Kinsham Grange

Last updated

Kinsham Grange may have been a priory near the River Lugg in Herefordshire, England at grid reference SO380652 . It now seems likely that an error by John Tanner in 1744 confused this site with one at Great Limber in Lincolnshire and there was never a priory here. [1]

Geographic coordinate system Coordinate system

A geographic coordinate system is a coordinate system that enables every location on Earth to be specified by a set of numbers, letters or symbols. The coordinates are often chosen such that one of the numbers represents a vertical position and two or three of the numbers represent a horizontal position; alternatively, a geographic position may be expressed in a combined three-dimensional Cartesian vector. A common choice of coordinates is latitude, longitude and elevation. To specify a location on a plane requires a map projection.
