1 The possible extent of the Medieval settlement, based on the second edition 6" OS map of 1887, 44NE.
2 Domesday lists Hampton Lucy in Pathlow Hundred. The Phillimore edition gives a grid ref of 2557 which differs from this grid ref which 2562. Ref 3,1 The Bishop of Worcester holds Hampton (Lucy). 12 hides. Land for 22 ploughs. In lordship 2; 4 slaves; 22 villagers and 9 smallholders with a priest who have 24 ploughs. A mill at 6s 8d; meadow, 15 furlongs in length and 1 furlong in width; in Warwick 3 houses at 16d; woodland 1 league long and another wide. Value before 1066 £4; later as much; now £20
3The 1887 map show a relatively small village. The area to the north of the church, now the site of the school, is empty and undivided into plots or fields, but may have been part of the Medieval settlement since Domesday indicates a populous and valuable village. The original church [WA968] was built in the Medieval period, and the mill [WA 977] may be the site of the one noted in 1086.

Description  
source Domesday Book The Domesday Book was commissioned in December 1085 by William the Conqueror, who invaded England in 1066. It contains records for about 13,000 medieval settlements in the English counties south of the rivers Ribble and Tees (the border with Scotland at the time). The Domesday Book is a detailed record of the lands and their resources that belonged to the king. It also records the identity of the landholders and their tenants. back
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.
