Etymology
Seven Farms (local) is Seven Formes 1777 C. This is where the brook crosses the road from Belchamp Walter to Borley through a brick culvert. Formerly there was a washway which in floodtime had to be crossed by pedestrians over seven plank stools or forms (ER x, 60–1). Cf. Four Fourmes Pasture and Lower Fourmes infra 629.
