The name of the field according to Warningcamp's 1840 tithe map which was once one of the large open fields that surrounded the hamlet and survived from the medieval period until enclosure in 1812. During the 1850s the land was acquired by a local building society who began laying out roads and some building began including The Woodleighs and Sefton House, however, no large scale building occurred and eventually the land was partially occupied by nurseries, one of whom, Yeomans, still operate here. Sefton Place Cottages and Bethany are the two buildings which can be seen beyond the glasshouses.
