As can be seen, the road has been built straight to the farm and does not follow the grain of the ridge and furrow cultivation pattern. The farm is clearly Victorian, and the name Newlands might suggest that it was a creation of enclosures during the 19th century. However, in this parish the enclosures were much earlier, dating from the late 17th century.
