Summary : Apley Beck marks the course of a 12th century monastic canal linking Bullington Priory to the Barlings Eau. |
More information : TF 09087370 to TF 09727517. Apley Beck marks the course of a monastic canal serving Bullington Priory (TF 17 NW 4) and linking it to the Barlings Eau from the end of the 12th century. It possibly extends to the enclosure in Cocklode Wood, which abuts it, and that site's function is related to this facility.
Throughout its lower course the waterway would have followed the edge of large blocks of Medieval managed woodland - Newball Park Wood (now cleared) and Hardy Gang Wood - on the Newball side. Where the watercourse skirts the SE edge of Hardy Gang Wood, the pasture field on the Apley side preserves a broad degraded bank flanking the stream and mirroring the surviving boundary bank of the former Medieval managed woodland on the Newball side.
