Greenfield

No individual entry found for this Greenfield in the Domesday survey. The entry for this priory in the Victoria County History (Lincoln, vol. 2, 1906) notes: "The priory of Greenfield must have been founded before the year 1153 by Eudo of Grainsby and Ralf of Aby, his son [...] The priory was dissolved in 1536, before Michaelmas." The engtry for the site of St Mary's Priory, Greenfield [List Entry Number: 1008687] notes: "The monument includes the remains of the medieval priory of St Mary, Greenfield, a Cistercian nunnery founded before 1153 and dissolved in 1536. The remains consist of a moat enclosing a raised platform and other earthworks. [...] The priory of St Mary, Greenfield, has never been excavated archaeologically. Later remains largely overlie, rather than cut into, earlier deposits. Finds of building material beneath the present farmhouse, and the survival of earthworks in the adjacent paddock, indicate the preservation of below-ground features."
