Church Walk

Street names and numbers were discussed at Parish Council meetings in 1969. It seems that it would be about this time that formal references to "Church Lane" changed to "Church Street" although inter-changing use of the two names appears to have occurred before.

The 1841 census documents clearly refer to Church Street and Church Lane, the latter appearing to be for Church Walk as was the case in the 1826 Enclosure Award.

However, in the 1910 Duties on Land Values rating valuation there are references to Church Lane for Church Street, cross-referenced to designated plots on the 1902 map. School Lane (again see the 1910 Duties on Land Values schedule and 1902 map) has also been applied to what is now Church Walk and Church Street may have previously been called Church Road. The Parish Council Minutes of 29 March, 1956 refer to, what is now Church Street, as Church Lane but a planning application in 1955-56 refers to Church Walk as Church Lane. All very confusing.
