Curved field off Broadmires Lane Typical of many fields in the areas between Thornton le Dale and Wrelton, this one has a distinct curve to its hedges, a result of enclosure of old common fields where the plough was once worked using oxen which turned at the end of each strip this creating a curved pattern. At Middleton, just west of Pickering there's a similar 'fossilised' landscape where old common fields were enclosed after the Enclosure Act of 1765, but I don't know of a date for Thornton le Dale parish. A further clue is the nearby Westfield Lane - once leading to the village's west field.
