number of midland holdings. Parcels are, to be sure, sometimes 

 located in tields, but this is done in the most incidental manner. 

 Several t\pical terriers in which " fields " are distinguished from 

 furlongs make clear this characteristic.^ 



* At Kingston a leasehold is described as a toft and three roods, " cum vi acris 

 terre arabilis, viz., 



iii acre iacent in qucxlam campo vocato le Combefeld in diversis parcellis 



et i alia acra iacet in quodam campo vocato le litlefcld in brokefurlong 



et i alia acra iacet in eodem campo apud le Chapelstyle 



et sexta acra iacet in eodem camjx) in tribus partibus " (Land Rev., M. B. igo, f. 163). 



At Sutton there was a freehold " tenementum cum xiii acris terre arabilis eidem 

 tenemento f>ertinentibus iacentibus in communi campo in diversis locis, viz., 

 iiii acre insimul iacent subtus le halle 

 et iii acre terre insimul iacent in le Russhemede ...

At Ewell the 6} acres which are appurtenant to a tenement and garden " iacent 

 in diversis particulis in campo vocato Southefeld, unde

 viam ducentem versus Walton " (ibid., f. 91). 



At Walton-upon-Thames a leasehold of 2 Edward VI consisted of 15? acres of 

 pasture and woodland and 345 acres of arable. Two-thirds of the arable lay in 

 closes, but lOj acres were " in diversis parcellis in lakefield." A freehold in the 

 same township consisted of a tenement at Payneshill, 7 acres in crofts, 55 acres of 

 meadow, and " in communi campo vocato Lakefeld 



iiii acre et dimidia apud Hokebusshe 



alie iiii acre 



i alia acra iuxta le Lake

At Worplesdon a freehold comprised a messuage with i f acres adjoining, and 

 " ii acras terre ibidem iacentes in communi campo vocato le Create Worthe . . . 

 ac dimidiam acram terre in dicto communi campo . . . 



ac unam acram et dimidiam in communi campo ibidem vocato le Litleworth " (ibid., 

 f. i7oi). 

 Another freehold in Worplesdon had " xi acras terre arabilis divisim iacentes in 

 ii**"' communibus campis ibidem vocatis le Greateworth et le litleworth." In the 

 first lay 105 acres in five parcels, in the second one half-acre parcel. 



At Weybridge three fields recur in two copyholds. In the first we hear of a 

 messuage with 55 " acras terre arabilis divisim iacentes in communibus campis, unde 

 iiii acre iacent in Wodhawfeld 

 et i acra dimidia iacent in le Townefelde 

 ac etiara iiii acre terre iacent in Pircrofte
