Full Description

At least four rectangular closes bounded by scaprs 1m high lie south of the church. Other possible closes of former houses line the old road which survives as a hollow way. Until relatively recently both the Church and Manor were encircled by lanes. These now survive as hollow ways and footpaths. Plan.
