Full Description
{1} Pond (SP 631 547) lies in the valley of a small north east flowing stream immediately north of the village, on Upper Lias Clay at 122m above OD. The roughly rectangular water-filled pond, 60m by 40m has a U-shaped island in the centre. No date or purpose can be assigned to it, though it is perhaps 18th or 19th century in origin. It is not shown on the Tithe Map of 1843 but is on a slightly earlier map.
In 1843 the area was called Paradise.
