1 The possible extent of the medieval settlement based on the OS map of 1885, 3SW.
2 Warton is not listed in Domesday.
3 The 1885 map shows quite dense settlement around the intersection of roads. One or two empty plots on the western side contain orchards, and there are strip gardens/small fields on the eastern side. There are no records at present of medieval activity in Warton, but the mapdata shows up several area of ridge and furrow survival abutting, or close to, the village. There is documentary evidence from the late 13th century to fractions of a knight’s fee in Warton.
