Newlands
Newlands is the name of several fields or farms and suggests that it as land that was enclosed from either common land but more often from ‘waste land’. Large parts of the Middlesex tithing fell into that category. Approximately 40 acres of open common grazing ground was enclosed by John Hippisleys IV in 1609 and was known as Newlands from then on. The 1794 map shows a few detached fields called Newlands corner which may have been the same land. A Newlands Farm is situated in Green Ore. |
