Full Description

{1} Brass rubbings of …. Fox (1545); a shield to Michael Fox (1545); Michael Fox (1545).

{2} There is no evidence in any of the surviving medieval or post medieval taxation records of a decline in the size of the village at any time.

{3} CEAWA (Saxon personal name) COMBE (Valley on hillside or a 'sheltered place') This indicates a Saxon settlement c.600AD, previous settlements would have been on more open gound with palisades surrounding a camp, not in a sheltered place open to marauding tribes, but farming. I can find no evidence of the early Saxons in Chacombe.
