The field to the west is called Hanging Hill. The junction of Darrow Green Road and Manor Farm Road, a short distance further to the north, is known as Misery Corner. It is possible that the name has some connection with Hangman's Hill but according to a local tale a pregnant servant girl once committed suicide by hanging at Ivy Farm, one of the houses by the road junction. The name has also been linked to the execution here, during the Civil War, of a Roundhead soldier.
