Notes about this historic site

1The possible extent of Medieval settlement, based on the first edition 6″ map of 1886, 53SE.
2The ridge and furrow plotting of the parish.
3 Domesday lists Tidmington under Worcestershire, in Oswaldslow Hundred, ref EW1. It is recorded as a ‘member’ of Tredington, and so, presumably, a lesser settlement. See the VCH for a discussion on this point.
4 The first edition map shows a dispersed village, with the church to the north, and the settlement, which is only hamlet size, mostly around the lane leading west. The ridge and furrow plotting of the parish shows almost complete survival around the village to the west, together with earthworks, which represent shrunken settlement WA2105. The church [WA2105] dates from the C13th.
