Full Description
Scrane and Old Scrane, now represented by Scrane End (placename at TF 386 420), about one mile south of Freiston, are places in which Kirkstead Abbey owned considerable land. Richard de Skreying is mentioned in 1216 and Ralph de Skreying in 1272. There are references to the Manor of Skreying in 1504 and 1590. Aerial photographs show some disturbance and linear marking, possibly connected with medieval settlement. {1}{2}{3}{4}
The area is now wholly arable, apart from one small field of rough pasture which has amorphous surface disturbance. {5}
