Full Description
{1} The land in the far west of the parish belonged to the deserted farmstead of Cotton in the medieval period. Nothing is known of its fields but extensive ridge and furrow can be traced on air photos, and massive ridges up to 500m long and 30m wide, formerly headlands between end-on furlongs, still survive on the ground (eg SP87459228 - 87899254).
