The Rood/Long Croft

The name of the fields according to Warningcamp's 1840 tithe map that have been joined together to make a larger unit and lie between Coots Dale and the eastern end of the village of Warningcamp. The Rood lay in the foreground on the eastern side and was once a larger field known as The Gore due to its triangular shape on an 1809 enclosure map. When an enlarged Image was made only a small triangle remained at the northern end and was given its name due to its small size. Long Croft stretched to the western end and was named as such on the 1809 enclosure map.
