Source Number  

1 On a map of 1634 a terrace of three houses is marked, together with a strip of land called the 'milking place' and 'ould garden'. This is possibly the occupation site of Lord Spencer's shepherds. The houses are also represented on the Earl of Guilford's map, 1808, the milking place is called 'The Upper Pringle'and the 'Ould garden' has become 'Cottage house', 'garden' and 'Lower Pringle'. The terrace of three houses is marked as two separate buildings. The Tythe Map of 1849 shows the houses and the strip of land had been absorbed into a field called 'Middle Meadow'. The site has been heavily ploughed and little traces of occupation remain today.

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.
