More information : [TF 055401] The lost village of Crofton is mentioned in 1316 and 1334. (1-2)
Crofton now consists of a farmstead, a few cottages, and a stone
dovecote. The latter at TF 0544 4016, with pantiled roof and
C.400 nesting holes appears contemporary with the earliest farm
buildings, probably early 18th C.
The farmer indicated one small field centred at TF 0553 4022,
where considerable foundation stone, and some medieval pot, has
been ploughed up. No earthworks other than rig and furrow survive
elsewhere in the area. (3)
No change. (4)
Examination of all available photography failed to identify any
evidence of settlement. (5) |
