Thynghowe, an important Danelaw meeting place where people came to resolve disputes and settle issues, was lost to history until its rediscovery in 2005-06 by local history enthusiasts[REF] amidst the old oaks of an area known as the Birklands.
English Heritage have recently inspected the site, and have confirmed it was known as "Thynghowe" in 1334 and 1609 [REF].
