Full Description
PRN 53900
BLYBOROUGH WAS ONE OF THE 'GREAT DEPOPULACIONS' REPORTED IN 1607. THE MAIN HOLLOWAY WAS A ROAD IN USE UNTIL AFTER 1855, ALTHOUGH NO STRUCTURES LAY ALONG IT EVEN IN THE EARLY C19. THE PRESENT ESTATE VILLAGE TO THE SOUTH EAST IS A LATE C18 CREATION OF THE LUARDS. ALL THE PLOTS THERE OVERLIE RIDGE AND FURROW WHERE IT CAN BE TRACED. ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE VILLAGE STREET, HOWEVER, APS SEEM TO SHOW TRACES OF EARTHWORKS AND THE EMPTY CLOSES ON THE TITHE MAP ARE NAMED 'HOUSE CLOSE'. {1}
A watching brief was carried out at Northside (SK 93714 94281). A single possible stone wall foundation was uncovered and it is thought that this may represent a building that was part of the re-located village of the 18th-19th centuries, although it may alternatively be of medieval date (see PRN 50507). {3}{4}
