Fishponds 90m south east St Mary's Church is a medieval fishpond complex situated near the parish church in Nottinghamshire. The site comprises a series of pond features that were characteristic of monastic and manorial estates during the medieval period, designed for the management and cultivation of fish stocks to provide protein for institutional or aristocratic households. The earthwork remains survive as distinctive linear and rectangular depressions within the landscape, testament to the medieval emphasis on resource management and food production. Such fishponds represent an important aspect of the economic infrastructure of medieval religious and secular lordship across England.
