The name of the field according to Wivelsfield's 1843 tithe map with the buildings of Hospital Farm in the dip. This view will change in the next year or two as the Haywards Heath relief road will be built beyond the former farm buildings. The farm itself was originally known as Hurst Farm but was purchased by the newly constructed St Francis Hospital in the 1860s to provide both food and work for their patients. Known as Asylum Farm before its present name it became redundant in 1970 when laws were changed preventing patients from working. It is now a small business park.
