Full Description
{1}{2}{3} For full details of tenements see section 10 Historical Topography in main report.
Whereas the northern part of the Saxon settlement was transformed into open field in the late Saxon or early medieval period, occupation continued around the green and this end of the settlement became known as the Bond End and then later, by 1543, as 'le North Ende'. This End may have been the main focus of occupation for the agricultural tenants in the medieval settlement. However the 18th century burgage rental does show that a number of the tenements on the putative green and two on its south west side were burgages at that time.
