FIELD NAMES. 
The earliest document giving any considerable number of field 
names is the terrier of 1608. Many of the names there mentioned 
are still in use, and still more of them were in use at the time of 
the Award, 1809, from which date many changes have arisen 
An assessment of the parish made in 1850 gives the name of every 
field at that date. In the terrier of 1608 we find mentioned “The 
Verwells,’ “Horsham,” .“The new Leaze,” “The Inner Nithie,” 
“ Southmede,” “ Rodmeade,” ‘‘Warhams” “The West Marsh”; in 
“ Westfield” the furlongs “Sandhill,” “ Four Acres,” “Greenway,” 
“ Hayestreet,” “Long Hedge,” “Seech”; in “Broadfield” the 
furlongs “ Long Hedge,” “Huckland,” “Odwill,” “Moore,” “Inland”; 
in “Downefields” the furlongs “Copped Ground,” “Shadwell,” 
“Moore,” “Middledowne,” “Shilfeacre,” “Long Downe,” “Horsham,” 
“Catbraine,” “Shelfgeat.” In terrier of 1671 occur in addition 
“ Brick Mead Corner,” “Seagry Heath,” “ Vinslade Corner,” “ Apple 
Furlong,” “Smith Marsh Furlong,” “Copped Thorne Furlong,” 
“Hillmore Style Furlong,” “Whiteland Furlong.” In terrier of 
1677 occur “Leonard’s Leaze;’ “Burnt House Close,” “Comley’s 
Leaze,” “ Barrow Acre,” “ Dock Ham,” “Cows Ham” “ Little Field,” 
“Clay Corner,” “Queen Bush Furlong,” “White Ash Furlong,” 
“Bushy Marsh,” “Lower Marsh.” Other original deeds of the end 
of the seventeenth century contain many additional names. The 
following no doubt arose from sometime occupiers or owners :— 
“ Cromwell's Leaze,” “Petty’s Leaze,” “Dole’s Close,” “Scottage q 
Orchard,” “ Ashley’s,” “Hibberd’s,” “Prince’s,” “Painters’,” “Blake’s,”
