Full Description
{1} A green, now of irregular shape, but clearly once rectangular and much larger. All the buildings on the E. of it and part of the grounds of the manor house in the N.W. appear to be later encroachments. The origin of this green between the two other settlements may be interpreted in two ways. It could be the original village of Culworth, laid out immediately N.E. of the ringwork and from which the other settlement expanded, or it could be a deliberately planned infill to provide a market place between two existing settlements. The grant of a weekly market and an annual fair to Richard de Coleworth in 1264 may be connected with the establishment of this market place.
