The four acres of land, now known as Tommy's Field, have been used by the people of Morpeth since early times. The Freemen of Morpeth had the right of aftermath or pasturage on it from Michaelmas in September to Lady Day in March. The field retains Tommy's name ever since Tommy Longstaff ran a pub and a tannery on the site in the 19th century.
