The eastern section of the village green. Recent research http://www.thorotonsociety.org.uk/publications/articles/car-colston.htm suggest that in the medieval period the two sections of the green were originally part of a single swathe of open land, with just the church built on it. The houses to the west of the church, and Old Hall, were later 'intrusions', separating the green into its two portions.
