Coxhoe medieval settlement, 170m south west of East House Farm
-
Description
"...Coxhoe medieval settlement, 170m south west of East House Farm, is well- preserved and retains significant archaeological deposits. The village is a good example of its type and will add greatly to our knowledge and understanding of medieval rural settlement in the region....The monument includes the earthworks and buried remains of Coxhoe medieval village. This lies on the magnesian limestone plateau of East Durham, on a south facing slope. The plan of the medieval settlement of Coxhoe is of a type familiar to this part of County Durham in which parallel lines of tofts or houses with crofts or garden areas to the rear face on to a village green....Coxhoe remained in the hands of the Blakiston family until Mary, the daughter and heiress of Christopher Blakiston, married William Kennett, before 1621...." -
