Great stuff. So much information, and really interesting. I knew very little of Sawtry before this video, so looking forward to part 2

Many thanks!
Thank you for another great video on the history of the area, I never realised there used to be an Abbey at Sawtry, I presume monk's wood had a connection to it.

There is no documented connection between Sawtry Abbey and Monks Wood ...... there are other old woods nearer to the site but the name would certainly suggest a link of some sort.
