Newbold Pacey Medieval Settlement
The possible extent of the Medieval settlement at Newbold Pacey based on work carried out on the Ordnance Survey map of 1886.
1 The possible extent of Medieval settlement, based on the first edition 6″ maps of 1886, 39SW and 45NW.
2 It is listed in Domesday in Tremlow Hundred. The Phillimore edition has a grid ref of 29,57.
Ref 39,3 (Land of Hascoit Musard) Humphrey also holds 5 hides in Newbold (Pacey) from Hascoit. Land for 9 ploughs. In lordship 4 ploughs; 5 slaves; 11 villagers and 11 smallholders with 8 1/2 ploughs. Meadow, 10 acres. The value was 60s, now 100s. Alfred held it freely before 1066.
3 The 1886 maps show not very much. The named buildings (The Elms, Newbold Pacey Hall, and the Vicarage], together with their grounds, occupy most of what seems to be the village, although they may overlie earlier settlement. That leaves a handful of other village plots in the south. An area to the northwest contains an L shaped pond and some scattered trees, and seems bounded on the north edge by a possible boundary hedge, so it is included although it contains no plots or settlement. Ridge and furrow plotting of the parish is not yet available. The church dates from the C12th, and WA633 is a possible shrunken area on the northeast side.
