Summary
The village of Pudding Norton was deserted during the reign of Elizabeth I, when the local landowner turned the occupants out to make way for grazing. Included in this site is the church of St Margaret, the ruins of which include Late Saxon or Late Saxon-Norman work. The remaining walls form the west tower and part of west end of the nave, which are constructed of flint with 12th century carstone quoins at the base of the tower, and later 13th century limestone quoins above. The west window of the tower dates to the 12th century with a deep splay, and a 13th century lancet inserted.
