More about this scene

Pleshey's name means 'enclosure'. The village is, indeed, enclosed by a circular, pre-Roman ditch. In the 12th century a castle-keep was added, built on a central mount (hence the Mount Stores on the left). Pleshey's curving roads generally follow the concentric lines of the castle's ramparts.
