Aspects of Markenfield 3: The Parish of Markenfield Hall
£5.00
A study of the Parish of Markenfield Hall: a most unusual parish, partly because of its unique 14th century moated hall and also
because, over the centuries, the parish has remained small, itsĀ boundaries almost identical with those of the estate. Unlike
surrounding parishes, no hamlet or village has grown up aroundĀ the hall. Through the ages the name has changed from
Merchefeld to Markenfield with the main variants beingĀ Merchingfeld, Merkingfeld, Markynfeld, Merkyngefelde,Ā Markinfeild and Markingefeild. In addition, it has been aĀ manor, parke, mannor, hall and today it is the Parish of Markenfield Hall.
