The name of the fields according to Clapham's 1843 tithe map that have been extended to include Image to the north and Image to the south. Clapham Wood lies at the northern boundary though beyond the trees in the dip is the southern end of Image To the left is the roof and chimney of Wood Cottage, one of a couple of dwellings that is all that remains of the former hamlet of Holt. The wood in question could allude to Clapham Wood to the north but equally could denote the former Holt Parks which lay to the west of Image as well as the shaw that once graced the edge of the track beyond the hedge to the left.
