Full Description
{1}The Old Town was surrounded on the south, east and north east by open field land that had been converted by the later medieval period to croft land: The Crofts, Bole Crofts and Lincroft. These were all distinctly separate areas to the rest of the open fields.
By 1425 the whole unenclosed area between the New Town and the river had become Common, defined as lying ‘in Croftys'. The Butts lay at the end of the crofts, as seen on the west side of the northern half of the town, and are recorded as early as 1422.
