Lurtch Road Sign
Location Description
Once the Evves family estate was located here and the area bore the name of Lord Evves’ wife, Mortilanca. When the couple died, their will stipulated their land be turned over to their serfs. The grateful peasants then founded a village of freeholders and named it after their first ealdorman, Lurtch, who had previously served as the Evves family’s butler.
