Pirton, Hertfordshire Beggars Bush 1664
Terriers of the Manor of Pirton Doddingsales for 1664 and 1693 (HALS DE17 & DE19) both include the description “the way that leadeth to Beggar’s Bush” which ran through the common Windmill Field. The site appears to be in the middle of a large exposed open field, close to the site of a windmill.The Will of John Farmer 30th October 1725 includes four fields described variously as “on” “in” and “across” Beggars Bush Way. A 1985 survey records the name for a field recorded in 1800 as Whitmarsh Shot.
