FIELD, a township in Leigh parish, Stafford; on the river Blithe, 4½ miles W of Uttoxeter. Real property, £1, 387. Pop., 84. Houses, 12. The manor belonged to the Pipes, and passed to the Bagots. A wych-elm was felled here in 1680, so large that two able workmen took five days to cut it down. Its length was 120 feet; its girth, at the base, 52 feet; its girth, at the middle, 25½ feet. Its branches furnished upwards of 60 loads of fire-wood; and its timber weighed about 100 tons, and furnished 80 pairs of naves for wheels, and 8, 000 feet of boards and planks.
