Full Description
Three stew ponds are contained within a piece of woodland called 'Stews' on the Bradley Tithe Plan of 1839. (1)
The name 'The Stews' is still in use on the 1st edition 25" OS map of c. 1880, but the stew ponds themselves are no longer extant. (2)
An extract from The Kniveton Leiger mentions fishponds in Bradley in about 1260. (3, 4)
Near to Bradley school are three interconnecting old stew ponds that have recently been cleared and incorporated in to a larger lake [2007]. During this work well-tooled stone was recovered. (5)
