The name of the field according to the 1843 tithe map and whose name remembers the former tanyard that once existed on the site of the current Hurstwood House. The yard operated from the medieval period until the 1830s and was still marked as such on the 1841 census and 1843 tithe map. The Haywards Heath relief road is due to pass through to the north which may suggest that the area between that and Hurstwood Lane to the south may one day end of under a housing estate.
