1 According to Beresford Great and Little Packington are forest settlements, so that it would not be unusual to find no settlement here. However, Beresford identified a settlement to the S of the smaller of 2 linked lakes. This settlement was identified from an air photograph.
2 This photograph has not been traced. For an alternative and more probable site for Great Packington deserted settlement see PRN 6235.
3 The extension of the park to the south in the 1820s obliterated the former hamlet of Dyalls Green.

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.
