Full Description
{1} NCCAP:SP6160/001-9+11-15
{2} The area was abandoned by 1742.
{3} To the south of the stream and east of the main through street was a series of long rectangular paddocks bounded by shallow ditches. These have all been destroyed but stone rubble and pottery (mainly C13th and C14th) have been found at the west and north ends of some of them, indicating that they were once tofts and crofts of the village. In 1742 many of these were still hedged closes.
