In 1301, 18 residents had paid the Lay Subsidy, which was a tax based on the value of lands and possessions and was used to raise money for the Crown to facilitate such things as payment of military forces and building of ships.

In 1316 the village has an entry in the Nomina Villarum,[2] which was a list made of all cities, boroughs and townships, and the lords of them, which was carried out for King Edward III.

The prior of the nearby priory enclosed some land of the village depriving it of 100 acres (0.40 km2) and destroying three houses.

[4] The surviving earthworks on the site are in good condition and indicate the large size of this lost village.

The original main street was on the line of the north-south running lane that still leads past Canons Ashby House.
