The extent to which data is exportable from @nationalarchives.gov.uk.web.brid.gy , plus their open design assets, is amazing. Here, I'm using the data to visualise manorial documents in Dorset interactively.

I can't be the only one who uses the nose to focus their phone's camera in an archive ... or unroll a document, weight it, and tell it "stay" ... surely not...
