The name of the field according to Durrington's 1839 tithe map viewed from the footpath that links Cote to High Salvington. Denshire refers to 'Devenoshiring' an old agricultural practice whereby the topsoil is burnt in order to increase the fertility of a thin soil. Worthing can be seen in the distance.
