Protected Status/Designation

  • None recorded

Full Description

THE TWO SETTLEMENTS NAMED CORRINGHAM, GREAT AND LITTLE, ARE CONSISTENTLY DIFFERENTIATED IN DOCUMENTS AND MAPS UNTIL THE MID C19, AND THE TWO HAD SEPARATE TOWNSHIPS AND FIELD SYSTEMS. GREAT CORRINGHAM FORMED THE NORTH PART OF THE PRESENT VILLAGE AROUND ST LAWRENCE'S CHURCH. IT MAY HAVE LAIN BASICALLY ALONG A NORTH-SOUTH STREET WEST OF THE CHURCH WITH AN EAST-WEST STREET CLOSING IT IN A T-SHAPED LAYOUT, BUT WHETHER IT EXTENDED NORTH AS FAR AS OLD HALL IS UNCLEAR: PERHAPS THE TWO FOCI REFLECTED THE TENURIAL DUALITY OF GREAT CORRINGHAM. NO DECISIVE POPULATION TRENDS ARE APPARENT FROM ITS DOCUMENTATION. THE ONLY CLEAR EARTHWORKS LIE AT SK872915, AND MARK THE SITE OF THE PREBENDAL MANOR HOUSE OR PARSONAGE HOUSE, SHOWN IN ELEVATION ON C18 ESTATE MAPS AND WITH FLANKING SYMMETRICAL RECTANGULAR CLOSES (PERHAPS GARDENS), THOUGH IT WAS SAID TO HAVE BEEN MOATED IN A PARLIAMENTARY SURVEY OF 1650. IT WAS DEMOLISHED IN c1879. THE SETTLEMENT WAS UNITED WITH LITTLE CORRINGHAM PHYSICALLY THROUGH C19 AND C20 DEVELOPMENT OF THE LINKING NORTH-SOUTH STREET, AND ADMINISTRATIVELY IN THE 1800s. GREAT CORRINGHAM SHARED ITS FIELDS WITH AISBY, THOUGH PERHAPS THIS WAS NOT ALWAYS SO. {1}{2}~, HTM 18.6M
