Full Description

In the triangular field to the east of Cottage Farm are the archaeological remains of the former road or trackway that led down to a fording place over the brook. This road or track was made redundant in 1842 when the Earl of Leicester paid for the construction of the brick/stone bridge immediately south of Mill House. The undulations can be clearly seen on the ground. (1) The trackway is visible on Bing Maps aerial photographs [2014]. (2)
