1 A way referred to as the green way in a charter of AD 988. Possibly running along the S boundary of Ruin Clifford along the edge of the heath which lay in the SE corner of the estate. A continuation of the route may be represented by the bridleway following the parish boundary NE of Hines House Farm (SP 2252), but this is not necessarily so, as the greenway could have instead crossed this bridleway.

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.
