Church Farm (uncoloured) is opposite the western end of Marlpit Lane as it runs eastwards.
The first buildings are the block of five Marlpit Cottages on the northern side and to the east of them the two blocks of two single storey cottages,
now converted into two separate houses - Marlpits and Tinker's Cottage.
Pine Farm is on the south side, almost opposite the large marl pit within the Y of the junction with Back Lane,
with a smaller pit just to its northwest behind what is now Tinkers Cottage.
