The existence of burgages on the west side of the river is confirmed by a document dated 1250 which refers to a property boundary running from/to the church and along the northern side of the burgages of Robert de Oke. Vestiges of burgage plots on the north side of High Street were visible until recently. Darkey lane which runs north of and parallel to High Street was the back lane to these plots.
