Full Description

Cabel Wilcock's Field, off B5056, Winster. Record was previously a duplication of records MDR8376. (1-4) 'Field shown on 1761 enclosure map as belonging to Cabel Wilcock. A 1750 document indicated that Wilcock made rope for bell ringers and miners. As a result it was suggested that the long open field was a ropewalk.' (5) 'The view that the field served as a ropewalk is likely to be incorrect: Wilcock was evidently making rope in 1750, well before 1761, and the structure at the west end of the field is typical of a field barn; a stoutly built structure in stone, with facilities for storing hay and providing shelter for livestock. Whereas the structure associated with an open air ropewalk would have been a light timber structure containing winding equipment. Furthermore, a document of 1812 indicates that the premises at which Wilcock made his rope was elsewhere. It extended over a larger area and contained a dwelling (i.e. it probably lay somewhere in the village rather than outside of it.' (6)
