CAMPFIELD, at Norton Woodseats.
- There are Upper Campfield and Lower Campfield. They are also called Camping fields. Camping lane runs between Woodseats and Millhouses. See the next word. This field was probably the place where football and other village games were played.

(For the meaning of 'clubbe,' see pp. 299 and
