Deserted medieval village, 'Faulkbourne', at the Faulkbourne Hall (EHER 18904)

Deserted settlement identified within the grounds of Faulkbourne Hall in 1963. No traces were identified during field investigations of 1976.

November 1976. Field survey. The fields flanking Faulkbourne church are both permanent pasture. The remains of an avenue of trees approaching the Hall from the NW passes close by the church on the W indicating the line of a former drive. This was probably abandoned when the two lakes were constructed in the valley to the west of the Hall. Apart from this road the only features that can be positively identified are surface quarrying 50.0m SE of the church, and random spots were tree roots have been removed. No house sites or garden plots could be seen. The area is named 'Park Lands' on the Tithe Map. <1> <2> <3> Some linear features were visible as cropmarks on the 2008 aerial photographs. <4> See NMP cropmark plot. <5> See also <6>.
