The name of the field according to Wivelsfield's 1843 tithe map. This is the view south of the footpath which is also a county boundary thus putting this section in West Sussex since 1974. Part of the field was lost at the beginning of the 20th century to the houses and their gardens that were built on Janes Lane whilst those houses to the right belong to Oakroyd Close which was constructed in the 1960s. One wonders how long before this field is covered with a housing estate. See Image for a view of northern section.
