Full Description
{1} The date of the enclosure of the common fields of Adstone is unknown, but was probably earlier that the late 18th century; a map of 1780 covering only a small group of fields in the north of the parish suggests this. Ridge and furrow of these fields exists on the ground or can be traced on air photos over much of the parish, arranged in end-on and interlocked furlongs of normal medieval forms, usually with reversed-S curves.
