Site of Middle Woodloes Deserted Medieval Settlement

1 Once a village, now reduced to a single farm according to Dugdale. Rous’ list contains ‘both Wodlows’. The 1:10000 map shows three farms with this name – Upper, Middle and North. From the air North Woodloes Farm appears to have other buildings surrounding it, but the two settlements were probably – like many other Arden hamlets – small, isolated forest clearings.
2 Location unknown (U), period of desertion known but documentary evidence inferior in quantity.
3 The approximate grid referenced is derived from Beighton’s map in Dugdale. Fields in the area were perambulated, but no traces of desertion were found.
