The pond at the end of a long field is obviously being well-tended. In 1879 the field was part of Monk's common. Ralph Vaughan Williams collected the song 'Our Captain cried all hands' from a Mrs Verrall of Monksgate in about 1904 and arranged John Bunyan's words from Pilgrim's Progress to produce 'He who would valiant be'. Check your hymn book and the tune is 'Monksgate'.
