This plan was published in Strype's first annotated edition of Stow's Stow's 'Survey of the cities of London and Westminster'. The plan's title features in banner at the top of the plate, with a compass star at middle left. The key to streets, yards, halls, courts and private properties appears in a table at lower right, with the wards prominent buildings shown pictorially. Farringdon ward was divided into Farringdon Within and Farringdon Without in 1394 because "the governance thereof is too laborious and grievous for one person to occupy and duly govern the same".
