4 The 1887 map shows a dispersed village. WA 8311 and 8312 are known shrunken areas to the south west and to the south of the church, and there is ridge and furrow survival abutting the village on the northern side and to the south and southeast. The church [WA3169] dates from the medieval period, and there are fishponds [WA3168] which look integral to the early village but which are undated.
