Sir Thomas Hewitt, in accordance with his wish, was buried in Scratta Wood in a banqueting hall he had had there (its underground remains are still to be seen). (1)
Sir Thomas Hewitt (1656-1726) ... (had) erected a costly banqueting house in the wood of Scratta. (2)
In Scratta Wood, at above grid ref, is a ruinous barrel-vaulted stone cellar; this is probably the remains of the banqueting hall noted above. (3)
Much of Scratta Wood has been cleared and the site of the cellar now falls on arable land, at present under grass. (4)
See M5393 for Hall and cross refs.
