Full Description
A manor called the Borough Hold existed in the 18th century which was the property belonging to the Borough of Higham, extending from the Stump Cross to the Spittle Cross. Its bounds were redefined by Act of Parliament in 1838. The Lands of Lord Lovell in Higham were granted in 1485 to Earl of Worcester and in 1553 alienated to Gilbert Pickering. In the medieval period Ascelin & Andrew of Higham held three virgates if land in serjeanty for the service of carrying writs of the Honour of Higham. They are identified as 'Serjeants peeces' in the open field in 1691. (1)
