The lane just clips the square here. A lost medieval village dating back to Saxon times, Goltho probably means "The place where the Marigolds grow". That the 40-acre site once represented one of the best examples of a clay-land mediaeval village in the East Midlands and the size of the sunken roads, some 40 feet wide and 5 feet deep, saved the site from the plough for over 500 years.
