Mr Yeate's farm about 1815

This map of Mr Yeate's farm is undated but it was with other documents from the 1810-1820 era at the Worcestershire Record Office. It shows the fields attached to Pitchers Hill Farm (Wickham Farm) in yellow. The script reads - The Tenant of this Farm to make the new Fence marked by the Red line at No 89 on being allowed Posts Rails and Quicks.  'Quicks' was an old name for cuttings planted to form a hedgerow, usually of hawthorn. The field divide has not survived into modern times.
