Notes about this historic site

1 The church was said by both Rous and in an inquisition of 1478 to have been demolished, though an incumbent was present as late as 1543. It is generally believed to have stood in a field known as Chapel Close (The ‘Church Yard’ in 1816) opposite Court Farm. Skeletons have been dug up here and about a century ago a Medieval gravestone was found (PRN 970).
5 Reported as above; although site visits made in 1951 and 1961 failed to locate any surface evidence of either the Deserted Medieval Village (PRN 834) or an associated church.
