Notes about this historic site

1 The probable extent of the medieval settlement of Hurley based on the OS first edition map of 1887, 29NW.
2 The 1887 map shows a small village with no obvious clues in the way of boundary hedges or strip fields. The parish has not yet been covered by ridge and furrow plotting, there is no ridge and furrow survival in the immediate area on the mapinfo database, and the RAF aerial photo for SP29 NW is not available at the SMR. The village is not listed in Domesday; its early manorial history is detailed in the VCH. WA 11 is the site of a medieval chapel, and WA 13 the site of a moat.
