Description: | PRN 64532
Burton Pedwardine is first mentioned in Domesday Book. Land there belonged to Gilbert de Gand and Guy of Craon. The minimum population consisted of 65 sokemen, 9 villeins, 19 bordars and a priest (although some of Gilbert de Gand's sokemen and bordars may have been resident in Helpringham - entry 24/105 is not clear about this). A church and a mill are also mentioned. {1}
'Burton' refers to a farmstead or village by a fortified place, from the Old English 'burh' and 'tun'. 'Pedwardine' is a family name. {2}
The 'burh' referred to in the place name may be the Manor House moated site (PRN 60273). {10}
The Lay Subsidy of 1334 recorded the village's wealth as £7 16s 5 1/2d, slightly above average for its wapentake (Aswardhurn). {3}
The Diocesan Return of 1563 recorded 25 households resident in the parish. {4}
By the late 17th/early 18th century there were 16 families resident in the parish, falling to 14. {5}
In 1801, 94 people were resident in the parish, rising to 202 in 1881 before falling again to 154 by 1901. {6}
The landowners in the parish from the medieval period to the mid 19th century are discussed by Trollope. {7}
Some of the residents of the parish in the 18th and 19th centuries are briefly discussed in White's "Directory". {8}
Extensive earthwork remains (PRN 64532a) of medieval settlement including crofts, a hollow way and a triangular area which may be a village green as well as ridge and furrow are visible all around the current village. {9}{10}{11} | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 1000 - 1539 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
