Carlecotes medieval core. Carlecotes first mentioned 1277 (Wheeler 1994). Present character determined by the presence of Hall (17th century) and Church (19th century) and 16th and 17th century farm buildings. Likely location of medieval core. Carlecotes School is shown on maps of 1851. The Old School house is now a holiday cottage. Prior to establishment of hamlet area was probably part of open moorland but no visibility of this type so legibility is invisible. The origin of the former moorland landscape is uncertain though this area is likely to be moorland by the Roman period (see Bevan 2003 for discussion of environmental evidence in region).
