Kilham : The Components Of The Medieval Settlement

The clearest evidence for the form of the village in the medieval period is provided by the map of 'Kilham and Longknow' dated 1712 contained in the survey of the Estate of Charles Bennet, Lord Ossulton, who was created Earl of Tankerville in 1714 (NRO .4206). Although there are obviously problems in using an early 18th century map to elucidate details of settlement three or four hundred years previously, when used in conjunction with other source material, it can yield interesting results and at least allows us to strip away the more recent accretions.
