there. There is no trace or tidings of those who lived there. 
2.  This field is called by that name because a black smith once lived on the opposite side of the road. Hence this gives its name. 
3.  For being thickly covered with short rushes this field comes down to us by that name. 
4.  It is so called because early in Spring it was covered with white flowers and daisies. 
5.  This field was one time enclosed by a black thorn hedge. Some of it still remains.
