Sycamore, Bodenham
Herefordshire
The
property lies in the township of Bodenham Moor
The
property seems to have been originally part of an open field of
the settlement, known as Dun Field. Parts of this field had
already been enclosed by 1813 when the enclosure map was drawn.
The road running south from Saffron’s Cross clearly cuts across
some of the field boundaries on the map. Continuous boundaries,
interrupted only by this road, run down from the road to Litmarsh
towards the stream and demonstrate that this road is relatively
recent.
Immediately to the south of the Y junction was a field known as
Little Field in 1813. The property itself was ‘allotment’
at the time.
In
1910 the Inland Revenue Duties on Land Value recorded the property
as cottage and garden occupied by Thomas Watkins and owned by John
Stanhope Arkwright as part of his extensive Hampton Court estate.
The
evaluation found no significant archaeological features
