- I have a farm at home, and there is a number of names on the fields. It is a very big farm. The names of the fields are "Brae face", "The rookery field", "The front field", "The river field", "The sally garden", "The Bridge house field", "The quarry field", "White hill", "The mill stone field", "The lime kiln field", "The rocky garden", "The two rock field", "The hay shed field", "Fox's wood", "The far wood", "The lake meadow", "The three cornered meadow", "The long meadow", "The middle meadow", "The bog meadow", "The hilly field", and "Far meadow". There is one river on the land.
The "Brae face" got its name because there is a very big hill in it. "The rookery field" got its name because there was a rookery in it long ago. There is a hedge and ash trees around it. "The front field" got its name, because it is in the front of the house. There is a whitethorn hedge around it and three gates. There is a well in the field, that we call "The well field". There is a big hill in it too.
There were sallies growing in "The sally garden". "The Bridge house field" got its name because there was a bridge and a house in it.(continues on next page)
