Full Description
{1} A Hospital Close is recorded on the eastern edge of the village in 1815. The close existed in 1615 but the whole area is covered by ridge and furrow. The significance of the name has not been determined. The only other reference to a hospital in the area is that at Cotes in Gretton, sometimes described as by Rockingham. It is possible that the close might be named from its ownership by the hospital at Cotes or being adjacent to a road leading to Cotes.
