History
Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". Octon is recorded in the 11th-century Domesday Book as "Ocheton".[1] The village contained a chapel dedicated to St. Michael (noted in 1327).[2] After around 1400 no records exist relating to the chapel, and the village is thought likely to have been depopulated as a result of the Black Death.[3]
By the 19th century the village was reduced to a small farming hamlet. In 1823 three farmers and a gamekeeper were recorded as resident in Octon, with a further two farmers at Octon Grange just over Script error: No such module "convert". to the north.[4] The extent of the hamlet remained unexpanded throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.[5]
The modern village is at the same location as the reduced medieval village; earthworks of the medieval church and village were scheduled as an ancient monument in 1994.[6] The 'Old farmhouse' at Glebe farm, Octon, a cruck framed longhouse dating from the 17th century is a Grade II* listed building.[7]
