Three Acres was a name given to two fields.
The first was an arable field of about three and a half acres, aka WESTWOOD FIELD, situated on the north side of Bisley Green close to Bullrowzen Farm. In the Tithe Award it was measured at 3 acres 2 roods and 9 perches; described on the OS map as 3.564 acres.
The second Three Acres was an arable field of just under 4 acres, situated near to the corner of Port Lane and Kiln Lane adjacent to and associated with Paynes. In the Tithe Award it was measured at 3 acres 3 roods and 24 perches; described on the OS map as 4.024 acres.
Three Acres was apparently bought by George Rempnant from George Sterry, some time in the mid-18th century. When George Rempnant died in 1775, in his will he left the property to his grandson George Rempnant Searle.
In 1786 George Rempnant Searle passed the property on to John Mose, blacksmith, of Chobham. John Mose held Three Acres until his death in 1823. In his will he left it to his daughter (who was also deceased) and then to his granddaughter, Martha. Martha was still a minor and so her father, John Mose was appointed guardian. Martha died (young) in 1829 and John Mose jnr (her brother?) was admitted as tenant; John was still in possession in 1846.
