This is the only surviving globe from the 16th century made by the mathematician Emery Molyneux referred to as Molyneux globe. It is believed traditionally to be gifted by Sir Walter Raleigh and it is in public display in Petworth House in Surrey now. If you are nearby or happen to be in the locality I would recommend it. The house is beautiful with so much history and the surrounding park is breathtaking designed by Capability Brown.
