How old? In the High Middle Ages the idea of maps as accurate charts didn't really exist - you'd either get mappae mundi, which will be of no use to
you, or itineraries that just show the distance and travelling time between cities, castles etc. At best the latter might be arranged in a form a bit like a
modern railway map. A snippet out of the middle of the Gough Map would probably be the nearest you'd get.

Ordnance Survey do an "antique map" series based on their early sheets.

'Google Nottingham Castle, that will lead to the gift shop; they might be able to help.
