Full Description
{1}At some date before 1290, John de la Wodehall took a messuage in Towcester with a curtilage bounded on one side by the fence of the sawing-yard (‘sawger jerd’), with right of access. It appears that sawpits were invented in the 15th century and it is possible that one was subsequently established in Towcester, and gave its name to Sawpit Lane.
