Hulcote

Hulcote, historically also spelt Holcot, is a village in the civil parish of Hulcote and Salford, in the Central Bedfordshire district of Bedfordshire, England. It is located directly to the north of the M1 motorway, and lies close to the border of the Milton Keynes borough in Buckinghamshire. Some evidence has been found indicating possible Neolithic, New Stone Age and Roman settlement in the area. It is known that Hulcote has been consistently occupied since the Dark Ages. Hulcote Mill and Hulcote Manor (now private houses) are both mentioned in the Domesday Book. Hulcote was an ancient parish in the Manshead hundred of Bedfordshire. It has a church called St Nicholas. The ecclesiastical parish of Hulcote was united with neighbouring Salford in 1750. Salford and Hulctoe were subsequently also merged for civil purposes in 1933, becoming a new civil parish called "Hulcote and Salford". At the 1931 census (the last before the abolition of the parish), Hulcote had a population of 39.
