Full Description
{1} The common fields of the parish were enclosed by Act of Parliament of 1764. Ridge and furrow of these fields exists on the ground or can be traced from air photos over most of the parish with the exception of the area covered by the deer park. It is arranged mainly in end-on furlongs and where they are interlocking (eg in the north of the pairsh at SP 795894) it appears to be the result of ensuring that the ridges run across the contours on the steeply sloping, broken ground. A few well-marked long ridges, formerly headlands, still remain on the ground. One of these, west of the village (at SP 796878-800883) is 550m long.
