Abstract/Summary
The present volume presents the results of open area in north Raunds, particularly the evolution of Furnells Manor. These excavations have examined the processes of village development from the early saxon period through the desertion of the outlying manorial centres at the end of the medieval period. Most significantly, the work has defined the formation of the village in a system of regular plots created by the mid-tenth century, probably following the English reconquest and the creation of the Danelaw, as part of a widespread reorganisation and nucleation of settlement.
