Geocache Description:


Welcome to mancot 

The earliest known reference to Mancot was in the late thirteenth century. It is understood that the name means 'humble dwelling'.

Until the early twentieth century, the village of Mancot was relatively small with a population in 1861 of just 276.

The growth in size and population of Mancot can be attributed to the building of the munitions factory in Queensferry during the First World War, which required key workers to live locally and resulted in the building of the Mancot Royal Estate complete with a Fire Station and Hospital.

Although now considered a village in its own right, Mancot was originally divided into three small hamlets: Little Mancot, Big Mancot and Mancot

Royal. Though these areas historically do not exist, they still are a feature on OS maps and the meteorological office databankMancot was earlier spelt with a double "tt" ending - Mancott.
