The Sheldon Tapestry Map of Oxfordshire, a huge Elizabethan tapestry map of Oxfordshire and the surrounding counties, is currently on display to the public at the Weston Library. Find it in Blackwell Hall, just past the café on the left-hand side.
Woven in wool and silk, the map shows Oxfordshire and a vast area stretching from Cheltenham to central London, and measures 3.5 by 5.5 metres.
