andrews field
An old field now part of Yeovil College campus
Andrews Field was a small rectangular field lying alongside the Ilchester Road and lying to the immediate north of Hollands House. It was bounded on its northern side by Lower Pickets Witch (1074) and to the east by Quarry Field (1070).
The Tithe Award of 1846 recorded that Andrews Field was 2a 1r 34p and was used as pasture for grazing animals.
Today the Ilchester Road entrance to Yeovil College and the college's Sports & Fitness Centre occupy the space that was once Andrews Field.
