The settlement of Grasby appears to be of middle size, in terms of population, and suffered no major or permanent decline. Its plan combines elements whose axis lies along the scarp, notably the main east to west street on the line of the through-way to Clixby in one direction, and Searby the other, with streets running up and down the scarp: The resulting pattern, though superficially grid-like, lacks sufficient coherence and may rather result from a series of discrete foci bunched together, and the complex tenurial pattern may support this. A curve on the east to west street and its intermittant wide sections may indicate a former open green area. {1}
