5. Bourne End was a small settlement along a stream, while wood pasture at Crawley was frequented by crows (maybe rooks cawing from their nests in summer?).
6. Wharley was another -leah, wood pasture like that at Crawley. This time 'dirty', perhaps because it lay on the highest boulder clays, claggy in wet weather.
I’m an Aussie, and I became quite familiar with that area visiting my daughter’s family when my Son in Law was studying at Cranfield. Thanks for the memories.
