Protected Status/Designation

  • None recorded

Full Description

THE POSSIBLE SITE OF THE DMV OF HAVERCROFT (SK830930). {1}{2}{3} A POSSIBLE DESERTED SETTLEMENT OF HAVERCROFT IS DOCUMENTED IN THE EARLY C14 AS A MEMBER OF GAINSBOROUGH AND IN C14 AND C15 TAXATION RETURNS AS A MEMBER OF THONOCK. CONVENTIONALLY LISTED AS A DMV AND ASSIGNED A POSSIBLE LOCATION AT SK830930, (IN CONTRAST TO CANON FOSTER'S VIEW THAT ITS SITE WAS INCLUDED IN THONOCK PARK) IT HAS NOT BEEN CONFIRMED BY FIELD EVIDENCE. IT SEEMS CLEARLY TO HAVE LAIN ON THE DOWNHILL WEST EDGE OF THONOCK (ON THE BASIS OF A DOCUMENTARY REFERENCE TO THE DEERPARKS IN 1268 - SEE PRN 50419) AND MAY HAVE BEEN LITTLE MORE THAN A SINGLE FARMSTEAD. SIMILAR NAMES - 'BONDESMANNESCROFT' AND 'SIMUNDESCROFT' - OCCUR IN THE SAME C13 DOCUMENTATION. {5}~
