Full Description
PRN 13317
DOMESDAY BOOK RECORDS THAT THERE WERE TWO CHURCHES AND TWO PRIESTS IN THE PARISH IN 1086, THOUGH ONLY ONE SURVIVES TODAY. THE ESTATE AT THIS TIME WAS OWNED BY GUY DE CRAON, WHO ESTABLISHED THE SEAT OF HIS BARONY AT FREISTON AND, AROUND 1114, FOUNDED A BENEDICTINE PRIORY IN THAT PARISH. AS A RESULT, BUTTERWICK DECLINED IN IMPORTANCE. THE MANOR WAS HELD BY THE DESCENDANTS OF GUY OF CRAON UNTIL 1262, WHEN IT PASSED TO HENRY DE LONGCHAMP, AND IN 1337, TO THE PEDWARDINE FAMILY. HERE IT REMAINED UNTIL THE C15. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT, BY THE LATER MEDIEVAL PERIOD, BUTTERWICK WAS A RELATIVELY INSIGNIFICANT VILLAGE, AS COMPARED WITH ITS EARLIER HISTORY. {3}
AT BRANT END ROAD (TF 386 449) IN MARCH 1979, WHILST FIELDWALKING, RECOVERED MEDIEVAL POTTERY. {4}
DURING FIELDWALKING AND EXCAVATION AT BRAND END ROAD (TF 385 450), QUANTITIES OF MEDIEVAL POTTERY, AND A DEEP SIDED CUT FEATURE WAS RECORDED, WHICH CONTAINED C12 DOMESTIC POTTERY AND OTHER DEBRIS. {1}{2}{6}
