Full Description
{1} The common fields of Woodford Halse were enclosed by Act of Parliament of 1758. Ridge and furrow of these fields remains on the ground or can be traced on air photos over most of the part of the parish which must have belonged to Woodford. Around Woodford Hill (SP554523) there appears to be no ridge and furrow but this may be, in part, due to modern destruction. Traceable ridge and furrow is mainly arranged in interlocked and end-on rectangular furlongs except along the north east parish boundary where some furlongs are triangular to enable the ridges to run across the contours.
