Walcot

Confluence of the Tern and Roden at Walcot

Possible Iron Age enclosures to the south of the River Tern suggest a long history of habitation in the area surrounding Walcot. Indeed, the village appears to have been a notable settlement since early Anglo-Saxon times. Its name may denote status as a village where Welsh was still spoken at the time it belonged to Wreosensaete, the 8th Century sub-kingdom of Mercia.
