  • Chapter 14 Upton History and Buildings
    Chapter 14 Upton History and Buildings There has been a settlement at Upton since at least the Roman period and possibly earlier. The general RCHM archaeological survey of 1968 identifies three enclosures in the parish of Upton. One is marked by well-defined and wide ditches that enclose a rectangular area of 1.5 acres at the point Ermine Street joins with the Roman road to Wansford. It is only visible from the air. There is a second enclosure of two acres immediately to the North West of the first. North East of the Roman enclosures is a larger undated enclosure of 2.25 acres that could indicate earlier occupation. It is apparently divided into two equal parts by an internal ditch and there appear to be traces of a smaller enclosure to its North West. There is also an enclosure complex that crosses the boundary with Ailsworth parish. A Roman villa was surveyed in the Autumn of 2002, prior to which, coins dating from AD330, and a 1st century bronze brooch were found [1]. The villa consists of a main block measuring 35 metres by 18 metres on NNE-SSW orientation. A large number of tesserae, hypocaust and roof tiles found at the site all suggest a large residential building. A few years ago parts of columns were found, and a Roman coffin was discovered on Model Farm land. It is now used for cultivating wall-flowers. A Saxon gilt brooch was also discovered at Upton, reported in Anglo-Saxon Cambridgeshire. In addition to Roman enclosures there is evidence of extensive Medieval ridge and furrow cultivation to the North of Top Lodge where three interlocked furlongs meet along the course of a small stream.

  • John Clare Country Torpel Manor Walk
    LOCAL INTEREST created only by a very costly royal licence. In 1198 Roger de Torpel paid 100 shillings for the right to enclose some of his woods to create a deer park and Ralph de Camoys was granted 9 does and 4 bucks out of Clyve (Kings Cliffe) Forest to stock his park. It does not appear to have been very big and it had gone by the mid 16th century. “Torpel Castle”, in Lawn Wood, though shown as remains of manor house on the OS map, was probably a hunting lodge. It was a 20 square metre stone building, with walls 1.75 metres Torpel Manor – only grassy banks and mounds remain thick, but only the limestone rubble core remains. Bainton Conservation Area This small area, accessible by grassy paths, Manor Court John Clare Country includes a variety of wetland and woodland The affairs of the manor were controlled by the habitats, with some interesting plant, bird and manorial courts, which were held twice a year. Torpel Manor Walk animal life. Look out for the kingfishers. Some tenancies known as copyholds could only be transferred by a manor court and the record Torpel Manor for these was a copy of the court roll. The Torpel The medieval manor of Torpel was one of the Manor Court functioned until 1925 when most extensive in the Soke of Peterborough. Its copyholds were converted to freeholds. In Ufford, land comprised most of Ufford, Ashton, and for example, the manor court was held, in its Bainton and extended into Maxey, Barnack, later years, in The Stag/White Hart for the Helpston, Northborough and Southorpe.
