Full Description
{1} The common fields of Great and Little Everdon were enclosed by Act of Parliament in 1763. Ridge and furrow of these exists on the ground or can be traced on air photos over most of the parish, except the edges of the stream which forms the boundary with Weedon Bec, where there was presumably always valuable meadowland. The ridge and furrow is arranged in a pattern of interlocked furlongs of rectangular form. It is extremely well preserved in and around the park of Everdon Hall and further west.
