Notes about this historic site
1 The possible extent of the medieval settlement based on the OS map of 1885, 3NW.
2 The village is not listed in Domesday. However there is documentary evidence for the manor from 1159 when it was granted to Geoffrey Savage by the King.
3 The 1885 map shows the village mostly built along the main road. On the southern side there seem to be the remnants of strip fields behind the plots. The mapdata has ridge and furrow survival to the northwest and to the southeast. The church, WA185, dates from the medieval period.
