Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: Old Town Field The name of the field according to the 1843 tithe map. The name indicates that the field was near or the site of the former settlement of Barnhorn. The manor of the same name had its boundaries drawn out by a charter of 772 and by the medieval period had fallen into ownership of the monks of Battle Abbey. It was they who began reclamation of the marshes to the south and built the settlement to provide housing for those who needed to build and maintain the dykes and sea walls as well as those who were to farm it. The settlement itself lasted until the 14th century when it disappeared probably a mixture of the Black Death, coastal storms and a change in agriculture away from cereal production to sheep farming that was far less labour intensive. Only the name remains as a reminder. |
