Village on the Leicestershire border whose fields were enclosed by Gabriel Armstrong in 1491, after which it emptied; widespread abandonment showed by 1500 and it was called a ruin in 1534. The church tower stood until after 1810 and new vicars kept visiting the ruins for inductions until 1868.View source →
