Three Cornered Field was a name given to two triangular-shaped fields.
The first was an arable field of about one and a quarter acres, situated adjacent to Hangmoor Copse. In the Tithe Award it was measured at 1 acres 1 rood and 3 perches; described on the OS map as 1.253 acres.
Three Cornered Field, associated with Paynes 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 Cornered Field 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.
The second Three Cornered Field was an arable field of about two and a quarter acres, situated on the north side of Miles Green opposite Loam Pits. In the Tithe Award it was measured at 2 acres 1 rood and 10 perches; described on the OS map as 2.364 acres.
