Deserted medieval village, Angerhale, Bottisham Park

History of deserted medieval village

Scheduled Monument

In the park towards the site of the deserted medieval village, Angerhale, is a large field maple of considerable age.

The tofts and crofts of the lost hamlet of Angerhale, possibly existing by 1100 and certainly inhabited by the 1260s, are represented by a line of earthworks visible in the northern part of Bottisham park, running north-east towards the moat around Alingtons manor house. Men of Angerhale, and houses there, were still recorded in the mid 14th century, and an Angerhale croft lay north of White field c. 1450. The name had become disused and the settlement had disappeared by the 16th century. (BHO)
