Full Description
{1} The town houses, properties belonging to the parish, are first mentioned in 1607 and again in 1725, when they lay together with the pound, immediately to the north of the churchyard. This land may originally have been part of the Saxon churchyard and have been encroached upon in the medieval period. There is certainly reference in the medieval court rolls to a certain family 'in the churchyard' implying perhaps that buildings have encroached upon it by that time.
