Summary

19th century field names, 'Mill Close' and 'Mill Meadow', appear on 19th century tithe mapping and suggests the presence of a mill or watercourse nearby. It is unclear if the field names still apply on late 19th century mapping and neither a mill nor a watercourse were detectable in the immediate area.
