b'Fish Pond or Moat - RevisitedMike PrattI claimed, on p192, to have found evidence on an aerial photograph taken in 1958 for the filled-in portion of a moat as a mirroring of the existing L-shaped fish pond by the church. It was short-lived. Andrew Sefton remembered this photograph of him taken at the same time that showed the fence of a chicken run along the same line. As the original discovery had been made on an aerial photograph taken in 1951 I went back to that and had to conclude that the shadow on the ground I had spotted coincided with the fence of the chicken run in both cases. It was a blow, especially as I had no reason before the discovery to think that the L-shaped fish pond was anything other than what it seemed. But even though the question of Fish Pond or Moat? cannot be answered with any real evidence at the moment it is still legitimate to ask it and in the process of uncovering questionable evidence I have become convinced that the answer is that the fish pond is the remains of what was originally a moat.Andrew Sefton, c1958.
