Further Field was a name applied to two arable fields.
The first was situated on the corner where Port Lane, heading north, entered Bisley Green, opposite the Hen & Chickens Public House. In the Tithe Award it was measured at 1 acre 1 rood and 18 perches.
Further Field was one of two arable fields associated with Goddins. In the first half of the 18th century, Goddins was held, copyhold, by Moses Evered. At some point Moses purchased two arable fields adjacent to Goddins from William Feltham. Moses Evered died in 1747 and Goddins was inherited by his son, also Moses. Moses junior died in 1785; in his will, he left his estates to his wife, Elizabeth, for her lifetime. After his wife's death, Goddins would pass to his nephew, Moses Beauchamp. Elizabeth died in 1789 and Moses Beauchamp inherited.
In 1796, Moses Beauchamp sold Goddins and its lands to James Stedman. James Stedman died in 1809; in his will he left Goddins to his nephew, William Chandler.
William Chandler died in 1871, aged 90. Goddins was inherited by his son, also William. William junior died in 1887; in his will he directed his trustees to sell his lands and to use the monies raised upon various trusts. In September 1887, Goddins was sold to Louisa Amelia Wing, wife of Frederick Wing.
The second was situated on the north side of Clews Lane, close to Clews Farm. In the Tithe Award it was measured at 1 acre 2 roods and 34 perches.
In the mid 18th century, Further Field was owned, together with Edsawes and two other plots, by Richard Hod. Richard died in 1759 and Edsawes and the land passed to his son, also named Richard. Richard junior died in 1766 and willed Edsawes and the land to his daughter Ann, now the wife of Thomas Waterer.
In February 1774, Thomas and Ann were given licence to let Edsawes to Henry Collyer of Horsell.
Ann Waterer died in 1815; in her will she left Edsawes in trust to her son James and friend John Parsons to sell and dispose. In December that year they sold Edsawes and the land to Richard Barnes, a shopkeeper of Bisley.
Richard Barnes died in 1819. In his will he left Edsawes to his brother Thomas, after the death of his wife Sarah. Thomas was admitted tenant in October 1823. In October 1830, Thomas sold Edsawes and the land to Stephen Steptoe.
By 1846, Edsawes and its land was owned by James Bedford.
