Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 1, 2020. The linked authority identifier is Q2566091. Authority coordinates are 6.417, -72.417. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
