The name of the field according to the 1840 tithe map. According to the same map the wood at the end of the field was called Varn Crofts Wood though on today's A to Z West Sussex map it is marked as Barncroft Copse. Somewhere along the line the V has become a B unless of course the person collecting information for the map got his information wrong having to spell from what some local Sussex yokel was telling him. Quite easy to do as nearby Locks Green in TQ2616 was written down as Lops Green and the field name Laine was written down as Laying. All done by the same 19th century mapmaker.
