Monument record 5459/0/1 - Medieval/post-medieval hollow way

Now destroyed

{1} On the west side of the canal the village is laid out in a neat grid of lanes. The grid pattern is now very incomplete, but on a map of 1726 (NRO) a further lane is shown on the south side of the grid, giving it a rectangular form, with two intersecting streets dividing it into four units. By 1842 (NRO, Tithe Map) this southern lane had been abandoned except at its west end. The remains of this lane have recently been destroyed by modern housing, but on air photographs taken in 1974 (RAF VAP CPE/UK/1926, 1242-3) part of it is visible as a rather degraded hollow way running north-east to south-west;
