Rustic Charm and Rich History
at Gregorys Field
We carefully preserve the ancient pasture and hedges at Gregorys Field and still make hay on the adjacent land using our vintage farm machinery. Visitors in July and August may witness the event. The caravan site has the basic required facilities, including electric hook-ups, but is deliberately kept uncluttered in order to provide the genuine charm of a true rustic environment where people may enjoy the tranquility of the traditional English Countryside.
The area is steeped in history, having been settled by the Saxons in the sixth century, Gregorys Field was part of the Manor of Puttenham, mentioned at the Synod of Hertford in AD 672. Subsequently, it was owned by Leofwin who was killed alongside his elder brother King Harold at the Battle of Hastings. Traces of a Roman Villa were found at Puttenham in the nineteenth century.
