Pigeon Lane

Early-attested site in the Parish of Overbury

Etymology

This lane runs from the top of Overbury across to Conderton (ex inf. Mr Holland Martin) and must be connected with the 'Pigeon House called Hide ' of the 1649 Survey, and that in its turn with the 'Bursarius de Hyda ' of the 1275 Subsidy Roll.
