Full Description
{1}The fishponds of the lord of the Over Manor lay close to the South Brook, at the south-eastern corner of the Inland, and the priory fishponds lay further along the brook, in their enclosure known as Bekkelow. To the south of the brook were the open fields, and the proximity of the holdings of local townsmen may have caused problems. Agreements of 13th-century date recorded exchanges of land near the fishponds for land elsewhere, and renouncements of common rights in placeta enclosed by the monks between their two fishponds.
