This section tries to consider the various changes to the eastern part of the Church Lawford as well as the South-East Corner of Kings Newnham in the Avon loop over the years. As has been mentioned elsewhere, the two villages sit on various joins of the Ordnance Survey grid mapping, so it is slightly more difficult than it might be to consider the villages as a whole.
