(ald)+Tithe+Map+1839

The following portions of the Tithe Map have been selected for comparison with the modern topography of Aldringham with Thorpe


 * Thorpe**

Thorpe was probably named after a Viking settlement on the northern shore of the small estuary of the Hundred River. When the Tithe Map was made it had a densely organised set of enclosures which extended to north along the coast to Sizewell (see the following two sections of the map).

To the north west along a straight boundary, the lands of Thorpe extended almost as far as Stone House, which stands isolated on the north east edge of Aldringham in a small landscaped estate (see following two section of the map).




 * Aldringham**

Modern Elm Tree Farm and Aldringham House are situated centre top of the above map.

Boundary with Thorpe was probably the small tributary of the Hundred River running down the centre of this section of the map.
