The village has long been decayed, but can be located by the name Grimston Hill and the site of Jordan's Castle (the old manor house) close by. (1)
The foundations of many of its buildings can still be traced. (2)
Site of deserted Med village of Grimston (above grid ref). (3)
Located from field names on Wellow Enclosure Award. The village was formerly visible on the ground but has now been ploughed out. The road here has been straightened… what appears to be a gulley was then (1840-2) called Deep Lane. It has now been filled up and a garage stands on the made ground. (4)
There are no surface indications of desertion at either above grid ref, or in the general area of Grimston Hill. Local enquiries regarding building foundations were negative and the whole region is under extensive cultivation. Air cover not available locally. (5)
