Information for record number MWA12448:
The Old Forge, Norton Lindsey

Summary At the front the Old Forge is a four-bay brick building of probably mid 19th-century date, with three two-storey bays and one single-storey. The original element consists of the two central two-storey bays on stone foundations. There is a strong possibility that the stone foundations originally supported an earlier timber-framed building, the superstructure of which was removed and replaced in brick, re-using the original foundations.

Description  
period Medieval 1066 AD to 1539 AD (the 11th century AD to the 16th century AD)

The medieval period comes after the Saxon period and before the post medieval period.

The Medieval period begins in 1066 AD.
This was the year that the Normans, led by William the Conqueror (1066 – 1087), invaded England and defeated Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings in East Sussex.
The Medieval period includes the first half of the Tudor period (1485 – 1603 AD), when the Tudor family reigned in England and eventually in Scotland too.

The end of the Medieval period is marked by Henry VIII’s (1509 – 1547) order for the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the years running up to 1539 AD. The whole of this period is sometimes called the Middle Ages.
