The name of the field according to the 1844 tithe map that recorded the usage as pasture suggesting a grubbing within living memory. Now a small paddock next to Wootton Farmhouse. The name itself is a reminder of the days when all farms would have a small orchard next to it often for personal rather commercial use.
