- The names of fields that are on our farm are, "The Black Park", "The Birney's Bank", The Cat's Glen", "The Ash Garden" and the Craft.
The Black Park was so called because there is blackish brown clay in the bottom.
The Birney's Bank were so called because people named Birney lived there one time.
The Cats Glen was so called because plants called Cats Tails grew there.
The Ash Garden was so called because it is a small garden, surrounded by ash trees.
The field is named the Craft, because it is a grassy field beside the house.
There is a stream between two fields in our farm. It is called the Glen.
