The road from Botolph Claydon to Granborough does not directly link the two villages in a straight line, instead the lane initially heads slightly south as it goes westwards, then makes a dramatic 90º correction and heads northwest to Granborough in a dead straight line. This lane is so straight that I think it may well be an old Roman road, though the map does not say this. Extra weight is added to this hypothesis because this lane kinks 90º precisely where Image] - a definite Roman road - would have hit it, but is now just a bridleway (see 1:25000 map)
