Bennettsfield


Bennettsfield (aka Bennetsfield, Bennets Field) is a farm in Northumberland, located about 3 miles north-west of Otterburn and 2 miles south-east of the village of Rochester. It is situated on the A68 road, by the junction with Yatesfield Road (to Otterburn Camp). The 1860 Northumberland Farms index lists Bennetsfield under Rochester township in the ancient parish of Elsdon. Whellan's 1885 directory entry for Rochester township lists Briggs Robson as a boot and shoemaker at Bennet's Field.[1] Today, Bennettsfield is part of Rochester and Byrness Civil Parish.
