The Old Field Names Of Marton And Grafton
Old Field Names Project
The following field names have been identified from many separate sources dating from 1625 to 1855.
IIdentifying the modern field location from the old name would pinpoint the location of the arable land, homesteads and farms from the past.
This would then allow us to further identify the location of now lost properties as well as identify the loaction of the early village.
The field names are as follows: G indicates the field or farm is (or was) in Grafton and M for Marton.
If any reader can identify the modern location of any of these fields please use the "Contact Author" button on the the left hand toolbar to let me know!
