Why this spot

Domesday village shrinking from the 1500s

Small farming village recorded in Domesday as Schinende, with about 40 people in 1332 but only three of ten households left by 1563 as sheep replaced arable. The church was in ruins by 1700 and the parish was merged into Navenby in 1931.View source →
