Notes about this historic site

1 The possible extent of the Medieval settlement, based on the first edition 6″ map, of 1888, 40NE.
2 Stockton is not listed in the Domesday survey.
3 The first edition map shows a small compact village with a road plan roughly in the shape of an H with one or two other little lanes. There are some empty plots and/or small fields. There is no boundary hedge, but the limit of the settlement follows the edge of the gardens and the Napton Road. Grange Farm is not included as its age is unknown. The chuch [WA942] dates from the C14th, and is in the southeast corner, together with the manor house and the moat. There is no ridge and furrow plotting for the parish, but the mapdata shows survival to the north and to the southwest.
