Hermitage, Coppingford Wood
History of Hermitage
Listed Building / Scheduled Monument
The moated site at Oak Grove is one of two well-preserved moats at Coppingford. The site survives essentially undisturbed and although excavated the site retains high archaeological potential.
The 1612 manorial survey of Sawtry St Judith refers to the site of a hermitage in Coppingford Wood. This is the site of the hermitage founded between 1225 and 1233 by Simon Costentin, lord of the manor of Coppingford.
