Originally Fulstow parish also encompassed Marshchapel parish, therefore the earlier evidence will be distorted.
The Domesday book records that there were 5 manors in Fulstow: The Bishop of Durham had two manors with land for 2 1/2 teams; Count Alan had two manors with land for 3 1/2 teams; Earl Hugh had land for 11 oxen; Robert the Steward had 1 manor and land for 3 teams. Altogether there was a minimum population of 72 families. {1}
The Lindsey Survey of 1115 records that Picot de Laceles has 2 carucates and 2 bovates of land, Earl Richard has 6 bovates of land and Roger Marmion has 1 carucate and 6 bovates of land. {1}
Fulstow derives from Fugeleston which is from the Old English 'fugol' meaning a bird and the Old English 'stow' meaning a place, or a place of meeting. {2} {3}
In 1563 there was 69 families. {4}
In 1705 to 1723 there were 60 families, dropping to 50 and then to 32 by 1723. There was also 1 Anabaptist family. {5}
Enclosure occurred between 1817 and 1819. {6}
The population was 332 in 1801, peaking at 577 in 1861 and falling again to 433 in 1901. {7}
PRN 46001a (TF 3303 9702) House platforms earthworks were observed on aerial photographs as part of the national mapping programme. {8}
PRN 46001b (TF 3359 7928) Earthwork tofts were observed on aerial photographs as part of the national mapping programme. They were also observed on a site visit in 2004 as part of the Lincolnshire Coastal Grazing Marsh project. {8} {9}
PRN 46001c (TF 3350 7941) Earthwork tofts were observed on aerial photographs as part of the national mapping programme. They were also observed on a site visit in 2004 as part of the Lincolnshire Coastal Grazing Marsh project. {8} {9}
PRN 46001d (TF 3376 9735) House platform earthworks were observed on aerial photographs as part of the national mapping programme. {8}
PRN 46001e (TF 3325 9727) Earthworks were observed on a site visit in 2004 as part of the Lincolnshire Coastal Grazing Marsh project. {9}
PRN 46001f (TF 3304 9712) Earthwork tofts were observed on aerial photographs as part of the national mapping programme. They were also observed on a site visit in 2004 as part of the Lincolnshire Coastal Grazing Marsh project. {8} {9}
A trial trench excavated at TF 3306 9715 revealed a pond (PRN 46001g) with a cobbled surface to the south, probably a hard standing for animals drinking at the pond. Medieval and post medieval pottery and ceramic building material were recovered from the pond, as well as quantities of domestic animal bone. A shallow linear feature, possibly a furrow, was also observed to the north of the pond, and may be associated with the nearby toft earthworks (PRN 46001f). {10}{11} | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 1000 - 1539 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
