Vis=28/7/1982 (griffiths). The parish boundary (holcombe rogus/burlescombe), instead of following its expected course, seems to deviate around fenacre, so that it is included in burlescombe parish. Present parish boundary may represent an early farm/estate boundary. Small manor at the time of domesday inquest. Fenacre was 1.5 ploughlands and had a population of 2 villeins and 1 serf at the time of domesday (vch).
