I have a raster of an Ordnance Survey 1 inch map that was surveyed in 1843-57 and subsequently revised in 1896 and published in 1898: Sheet 50 - Hawes. When georeferenced in QGIS using OSGB36/British National Grid, EPSG:27700 the resulting map raster is skewed. I don't think that this is due to inaccurate georeferencing - I used multiple ref. points and the skewing is consistent across the whole map. I'd like the georeferenced raster to preserve the map's original shape and orientation. Is there a CRS that will do this?

Edit: I was able to fix the skew by rotating the canvas (bottom RHS of screen).

    Are the lat and long lines parallel and equally spaced on the original image? The grids on the side look like a regular set of lat-long coordinates, so you can possibly georeference using just the lat-long coordinates of the corners. These won't be WGS84 lat-long coordinates though. I'm not sure what was used in the 1840s. A small translation may be needed for your required accuracy...
