The vale in the background suggests somewhere around Clee Hill, along the A4117, so I'll put that forward as my guess. PS Really enjoying this, let's keep it up!

RMweb Premium 47137 Posted June 25, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 25, 2019 Please can I insert a small digression, but I am still smiling about this. Sorry no picture but this will become clear. We were in Norfolk this weekend. We saw “Godwick Deserted Village” on the map. Well, this might be interesting so we sought Godwick for some time. Its location is remote, even by the standards of rural Norfolk. Eventually we found a tall ruin in a field. We struggled over a broken stile and found an information board. Godwick was a medieval village where they collected clay from the ground. The village had a church built of stone, but the records of the late 1500’s show this to be without a tower. Also a manor house, its site fenced off from public access. The village diminished for years, finally abandoned in (probably) the 1600s. After the church fell down, someone built a church tower as a folly. In 1981, half of the tower fell down. So what there is of Godwick today is half a folly, and some rounded earthworks which English Heritage explain as “streets” through something they call an “interpretive illustration”. Godwick is not a deserted village. It is the site of a lost settlement and nothing more. But we were glad to be in the British isles - Richard. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold martin_wynne Posted June 25, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 25, 2019 Here's another one. Somewhat underwhelming as a visitor attraction: The undulations in this field mark the site of the medieval village of Elmley Lovett, Worcestershire.
