Monument record 731 - Syresham

Syresham settlement remains suggest aggregate village plan

{1} Settlement remains, Syresham (SP 628418, 630416), consist of a few fragmentary scarps and banks. The village consists of two separate parts on either side of a small valley. On the south side is the main part, based on an oval street system; to the north is a smaller area known as Church End, with the parish church on its east side. The dual character of the village is perhaps a reflection of the manorial history. Domesday Book records three manors, one probably Crowfield and the others the two parts of Syresham.

{5} Unidentified timber-framed buidlings in the village. Two photographs.
