Full Description
{1} The only reference to a pond was in 1300-1 when a payment was made to the fisherman who fishes in the new pond (stagnum). The only possible site for a fishpond is that in the western edge of the township where there is also reference in 1565 to an area of cow pasture called Dam Head and to Dame Hill, immediately to the east of South Wood, on either side of the Lyveden brook. This is likely to represent a fishpond, perhaps that recorded as new in 1300-1, because only one water mill is recorded in the township (located some 200m to the east of this site).
