Pattesley
Pattesley is a very small village in the English county of Norfolk. It is located about one mile south of the village of Oxwick and consists of a few scattered houses.
History
After the Norman conquest, William the Conqueror granted the village to Lord Peter de Valognes, who then let Roger de Pattesley administer it on his behalf.[1]
Pattesley was mentioned on the Domesday Book survey.[2] During Elizabethian times, it was briefly donated to Caius College by Sir Christopher Heydon. The college exchanged the manor with Sir Roger Townshend of Raynham shortly after.[3]
The village once supported a church consecrated to Saint John the Baptist[4] though this is recorded as only a remnant as early as 1831[5] and appears to have been abandoned on the 16th Century, according to some sources.[6] The church was later incorporated into a farmhouse, known as Pattesley House or Pattesley Cottage, now a Grade II* listed building[7]
Its recorded population in 1861 was only 10 people.[8]
Other Uses
Its name is used by a group of singers 'The Pattesley Singers' who rehearse in nearby Colkirk.[9]
