Description
The earliest activity within the HUCA is around Skirbeck, where early medieval activity around the church is recorded. Anglo Saxon remains have also been excavated to the west of St Nicholas Primary School, where two grubenhauser were recorded during excavation. Agricultural activity is likely in the HUCA, particularly to the west of Maud Foster Drain where the town fields were located in the 12th and 13th centuries. This agricultural activity continued and expanded in the post-medieval period, many 19th century farmsteads were located around the HUCA reflecting this land use. The HUCA was developed as the town grew, the latter half of the 20th century saw large residential developments being planned and built around the HUCA, this expansion caused Skirbeck to be absorbed into Boston.
