2 Hodder identifies the area around Noel Grange which was a Post Medieval settlement cluster as the most likely site for the Medieval hamlet of Moxhull. In the Post Medieval period there was a coaching inn here known as the Noel Arms in c1830 (WA 56). Fieldwalking in 1981 SW of Noel Grange and NE of Lower Green collected a scatter of 24 Medieval and 2 Post Medieval sherds (Ref. LG 81, 3) which he suggested might reflect occupation.

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.
