Two adjacent plots of land south of present Vicarage Lane and Jaffe Road in Ilford, just north of the railroad tracks, were known as the Little Johns according to the 1844 tithe award of the civil parish of Barking. Their combined area was Template:AcreRoodPerchToM2 m2. Their owner/occupier was a John Philpot, their state of cultivation is listed as "Arable".[1] The two closes together formed a rectangle with its long side oriented west–east. The field immediately west of the Little Johns, also owned by John Philpot, was a rectangle with its long side oriented north–south that was bisected by the railroad tracks, its two parts being known collectively as the Great Johns.[2] The rough contours of the closes are drawn in on one of the maps below, those of the Little Johns in red, those of the Great Johns in yellow. A Robinhood Meadow existed just c. 500 m to the southwest.
