Comments
first series O.S 1:25000 mapping places “Bokidene Grange ” as within the moat immediately north of the farm known as Bockendon Grange. This is similar to the medieval Rudfyn Manor near Meer End and a nearby Redfern Manor. I would not be surprised if the present Bockendon Grange was once known as Bockendon Grange Farm.
