"I have not had time thoroughly to explore the Bishop's High Head tithing. Here Barton Field reminds us of the family of that name so long residing in Ivegill, of the John Barton who seems to have given a bell to the ancient chapel of Highhead, and of the Quaker poet Bernard Barton. Their small house still stands opposite to the larger and more important one of the old and remarkable Quaker family of Bewley, near to the peaceful green terrace which is the site of the Quaker burial ground, and above the graceful, one-arched, pack-horse bridge in Ivegill parish. Giant Hill may recall some mighty chief buried in a tumulus. Not far off is Hempsgillhow, a farm romantically situated by the Roe. Long Swathgate Head comes probably from the swaths, bands, or ridges of grass or hay, produced by mowing with the scythe."
