The 1:2500 maps, and many other large scale maps on the Warwickshire site were digitised and rectified by Landmark Information Group<http://www.landmark.co.uk/>, who own the copyright in the images and of course in their rectified form. Landmark. Landmark have a commericial business, Old-Maps which sells reproduction (IIRC for non-commercial use) online<http://www.old-maps.co.uk/>.
