This area shows the extent of the nucleated settlement of Sykehouse as depicted by the 1851 OS. Comparison between this map, the 1825 enclosure mapping (Haywood 1825), and Jefferys' 1775 mapping indicates that in the late 18th to the early 19th century this area saw a distinct change from a dispersed to a nucleated pattern, with Jefferys' depicting a much wider spread of settlement along local roads. Haywood's award plan indicates a largely already enclosed landscape but appears to show the area around the present settlement as a linear green either recently or 'to-be' enclosed as a result of the award. The present nucleated area may well have developed as a result of this land made newly available for building.
