The Battle of Bloreheath #244750

Manor that a field adjoining the heath on which the cross stood was known as the Barn Cross so long ago as 1553. The farm now known as the Audley Cross Farm is comparatively modern, having been built subsequently to the enclosure Of the heath in Before that time there was upon its site only a small holding Of about six acres, known as the Squab, and which had been formed by some squatter in the middle Of the unenclosed waste. A mound near this farmhouse has been supposed by some people to mark a burial place but I do not know that there is any evidence to support this conjecture.
