Monument record 4679/0/1 - Medieval/Post Medieval Closes & House Sites

Settlement remains of 19th century village shrinkage, formerly part of Blisworth. The remains are now destroyed.

{1}{2}{3} Documentary evidence of post medieval houses, shown on maps of Blisworth.

{3} Settlement remains (SP 726537), formerly part of Blisworth, lay at the N end of the village, immediately N of Chapel Lane and Little Lane. The earthworks, in existence until at least 1947 have now been destroyed, but consisted of a group of small rectangular paddocks bounded by low banks, presumably the gardens of houses that once stood along the lane. Some of the houses remained until after 1810 for they are depicted on the draft Enclosure Map of that date as well as on a map of the parish of 1729
