Full Description
{1} The Warren with its lodge lay to the north of Hall Field, in the north western part of the township, in 1587. At that time it comprised 96 acres of waste called The Lynches. The warren was considered old in 1405, a statement repeated in 1488 when pasture there was rented out for 12d. It continued to be rented out at least until 1519, when it brought an income of 13/4d per annum. In c.1720 Bridges described the Links as being covered with furze and brakes, the land being largely on the Northampton Sand and Ironstone geology.
