The two signs have different names, but maps consistently show Top Brackendale Farm. The farm has been part of the Crown Estate since 1925, with the Cockayne family as tenant farmers, but it seems that the Crown Estate has only started installing its own name plates in recent times. The name Brackendale stems from the name of the old medieval open field on this side of Bingham.
