Church Field was depicted on the 1st edition OS map of 1854 and the Tithe award of 1839. It is likely that it may have been Glebe land since the 12th century establishment of St. Michaels church (Cumberpatch 1991, 4). Earlier maps show the area divided into different strips. These were consolidated over time, finally forming the large single field in the latter part of the 20th century. Legibility of the former landscape is fragmentary as the name and (partial) external boundary of Church Field have remained constant.
