The fieldname 'Tender Field', indicates the former presence of frames for cloth drying following the fulling process in the nearby mill, known to have been present in the mid-15th and early 19th centuries. The tithe survey described the field as supporting arable cultivation and it is likely that ploughing will have destroyed any trace of the associated post holes for the drying racks.
