Fishponds 220m east of St Wilfrid's Church is a complex of medieval fish ponds located near Halton in Nottinghamshire. The site comprises a series of interconnected water features typical of high medieval fish farming, reflecting the importance of freshwater fisheries to the local economy and the diet of the medieval community. The ponds are arranged in a linear sequence with visible earthwork remains including banks and channels that once managed water flow between the basins. Such fishponds were commonly associated with ecclesiastical establishments and manorial holdings from the twelfth century onwards, and this example demonstrates the sustained investment in aquaculture during the medieval period.
