- We have only a small farm of land. There are eight field's in it. The river, the farfield, the hill the wellfield a meadow and garden. The river field got its name because there is a river flowing by it. The wellfield gets its name because there is a well in it. The meadow got its name because the people did not let the animals into it and there grew hay on it. The hill got its name because it was hilly ground. There are no rocks no hollows nor heights in this farm. There are old bushes on our farm such as the ash, the oak, the beech, the fir, the thorn bush. These names were given from their appearance. There was nothing happened in our fields long ago.
