Notes about this historic site

1 A hollow way below the E churchyard wall marks the course of an old road. A certain unevenness in the ground close to the Medieval churchyard cross (PRN 1514) suggests that there were formerly buildings nearer the church than at present.
2 The hollow way was visible, but earthworks to the W are amorphous and not discernible as house platforms.
3 Haselor formed 3 manors in 1086, the parish church is planted midway between the hamlet of Upton and that of Walcot.
