Blakeney, Awre, SO 6706. Remains seen in Churchcroft field in C18 suggest a castle rather than church. (Rawes ref. Rudge)
Near Blakeney, in a ground called Churchcroft, were found, some years since, considerable ruins under ground, consisting of four semicircular walls, twelve or fifteen feet in diameter,- the ends of which crossed each other, with two square rooms irregularly connected with the other building, in one of which were bricks or tiles for pavement, from seven to fourteen inches square. The search was occasioned by a traditional story, that the old church was intended to be built there, but that what was done in the day was removed in the night to the present situation. (Rudge 1803)
