Monument record 7198/379/3 - "le Newedam", The Great Fishpond, Bazeley's Pond

{1}{2} In 1292 an income of 16/- is recorded from the fruit and herbage of the garden together with the herbage around 'le Newedam’. By 1309-10 the income, increased to £1, is described as from the garden and the herbage around the great fishpond. This may be one of the ponds in the valley west of the town. In 1291 at least two men, Geoffrey and Henry the fishermen, were involved with the management of the ponds and perhaps also the fishery in the river Ise. A further pond existed in 1721 called Bazeley's pond immediately to the east of the Goose Pasture. They were owned by the manor.
