Full description
IT SEEMS LIKELY THAT THE STRAIGHTENED AND EMBANKED LOWER COURSE OF THE BECK, FROM THE PRECINCT, WEST TO THE BARLINGS EAU (TF09487283 TO TF10957328), WAS AN ARTIFICIALLY IMPROVED NAVIGATION GIVING ACCESS BY WATER TO THE MONASTERY. IN 1449-50 SEED CORN WAS BROUGHT FROM LINCOLN BY WATER ON TWO OCCASIONS, AND OTHER ITEMS (SUCH AS FISH AND SPANISH IRON BROUGHT IN AND WOOL AND HIDES TAKEN OUT) PROBABLY TRAVELLED THAT WAY. THE SITING OF THE PRESENT STAINFIELD GRANGE AND MANOR HOUSE FARMS AND TRACES OF FORMER EARTHWORKS ALONGSIDE THEM MAY RELATE TO THIS WATERWAY. {1}~
