This group of fields stretched from Gallows Hill over to almost todays Chaucer Estate, down along Melford Road as far as East Street. Names of fields within this estate indicate that it had been created out of communal medieval open fields." - See Christopher Saxton, The Town of Sudbury, Suffolk - Memories & History
