Full Description
{1} The common fields of West Farndon were enclosed by Act of Parliament of 1760. Ridge and furrow of these fields can be seen on the ground or on aerial photos over much of the land of the hamlet. Owing to the more broken landscape in this part of the parish the blocks are arranged in interlocked furlongs often of small size and irregular shape, in order to enable the ridge and furrow to be laid out approx across the contours.
