SETTLEMENT REMAINS, FORMERLY PART OF GLENTWORTH ARE EVIDENCED BY TRACES OF EARTHWORKS (NO LONGER EXTANT) ON EARLY RAF VERTICAL APs, MEDIEVAL FINDS, AND FRAGMENTS OF THE EARLIER STREET PATTERN STILL SHOWN ON A MAP OF 1813. THESE SHOW THAT THE SETTLEMENT'S EARLIER PRINCIPAL AXIS WAS AN EAST-WEST STREET CONTINUING THE LINE OF ST. GEORGE'S HILL, WITH PROPERTIES ON BOTH SIDES, WHICH MAY HAVE LEAD INTO A RECTANGULAR GREEN ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE CHURCH. THERE WERE ALSO FURTHER SETTLEMENT ELEMENTS TO THE SOUTH, REPRESENTED FOR EXAMPLE IN THE EARLIER C19, BEFORE THE OPENING OF HANOVER HILL AND NEW ROAD, BY A GROUP OF SEVEN HOUSES AT THE DEAD END OF WHAT IS NOW CHAPEL LANE. THE POPULATION TRENDS SHOW A VERY SHARP DECLINE IN THE LATER C14 FROM WHICH RECOVERY WAS SLOW AND PARTIAL, AND AGAIN A DECLINE IN THE LATER C17. THE EFFECT OF THE CREATION OF THE HALL IN THE MID C16 AND ITS REORIENTATION TO FACE EAST AND ASSOCIATED LANDSCAPING IN THE MID C18 HAS CLEARLY BEEN TO DEPOPULATE AND CLOSE STREETS ON THE NORTH EDGE OF THE SETTLEMENT AND PUSH IT SOUTH. THE PARISH IS SAID TO HAVE BEEN ENCLOSED BEFORE 1616 BY THE WRAY FAMILY, BUT THIS PROBABLY ONLY AFFECTED THE CENTRAL PART OF THE PARISH. {1}~
