1 A map of 1746 shows a farmstead consisting of a group of three buildings c.200m SW of Four Elms Farm.

3 The farmstead appears to be attached to a block of fields suggesting that it belonged to an established settlement and was not a recent encroachment onto waste. It may therefore be of early post-medieval or late medieval origin. The farmstead is not shown on the 1849 Tithe Map and had presumably been abandoned by this date.

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.
