Grove Field

A field of Marsh Farm in Yeovil Marsh

 

Grove Field (Parcel 1124) was a large field of Marsh Farm in Yeovil Marsh.

As part of Marsh Farm, Grove Field was sold in January 1833, at which time the owner was Samuel Glyde of Grove House, Yeovil, and the tenant was Henry Genge. In July 1837 the farm, including Grove Field, was sold again with the details noting "... now in the occupation of Mr George Conway." In May 1844, Marsh Farm "in the occupation of Mr Charles Marshalsea" was offered for sale again.

The 1846 Tithe Apportionment recorded that Grove Field (Parcel 1124) was then owned by William Neal and let to John Marshalsea. Neal appears not to have lived in the area. The Apportionment recorded that Grove Field was used as pasture for grazing livestock and its measurement was given as 10a 3r 12p.

In 1860, the tenant was recorded as John Mullett. During the early 1880s, the Kitton family were the tenants, followed by the family of Edward Indoe in the late 1880s and then Samuel Conway, followed by R Mead from 1890.

Grove Field (Parcel 1124) was bounded on the north by the access lane to Pear Tree Farm (now extended eastwards, to join Stone Lane). To the east it was bounded by Lower Mead (Parcel 1123) and Higher Mead (Parcel 1122), to the south by Hollow Ground (Parcel 1115) and to the west by Marsh Lane.
