Description
An article tracing the 10th century boundary of the Manor of Winslow notes that three destinations are joined by the 'Street' - Heortmeere, Heorthill and Stapelum. Heorthill is now know as Windmill Hill and was shown as Harts Hill on a map of 1599. A Heart Hill furlong is also noted on the North Marston enclosure map. In Granborough, there was a Harthillend and a Harthillhawden. Some 400 yards east is a large horseshoe shaped pond, which expands considerably in times of flooding, and possibly gives the location of a 'lakeside hamlet' and the 'Mershamfulong' which often appears in the Winslow Court Rolls (1).
