Source Number  

1 A survey undertaken during building renovation at Berryfields Farmhouse, Fillongley, identified three phases of construction, the earliest perhaps dating from the later C17 or early C18. It was originally a brick-built, three-unit baffle-entry Farmhouse of one and a half storeys. The NE end of the building was partially demolished in the C18 and rebuilt as a two-storey cross wing. An outshut was added in the late C18 or early C19 but was removed by the later C19.

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.
