Summary
Cornwood is first recorded in the Domesday Book of 1186 as Cornehuda; a relatively large settlement of 24 households. As such, the heritage significance of the village rests on its evidential value; its potential to contain buried evidence relating to the settlement development before during and after the medieval period.
