Notes about this historic site

1 The likely extent of the Medieval settlement based on the first edition 6 ” map,57 NW 1884.
2 Cherington is not listed in the Domesday survey.
3 The 1886 map shows quite dense settlement. There is no clear boundary hedge, but it is suggested by footpaths on the northern side. The church [WA2349] and Cherington Mill [1891] both date from the medieval period. The parish has not been covered by ridge and furrow plotting. The map shows orchard/garden fields surrounding the village.
