Tyes and Greens There are a number of settlements in this part of East Anglia with names containing the word tye . The word is Anglo-Saxon in origin and the Oxford English Dictionary quotes the earliest usage of the term as dating from 832. Essentially a tye was a green or a small area of open common land usually sited away from the main village or settlement perhaps at the junction of two or more routes. Local people and passing travellers had the right to pasture their horses pigs and other farm animals on the tye. In the Pebmarsh area there seem to have been five or six of these tyes all except one at the margins of the parish. These marginal clearings are all away from the richer farming land to close to the river and in the case of Cooks Green Hayles Tye and Dorking Tye close to the edge of still existing fragments of ancient woodland. It seems likely then that here as elsewhere in East Anglia medieval freemen were allowed to clear a small part of the forest and create a smallholding. Such unproductive forest land would in any case have been unattractive to the wealthy baronial or monastic landowners. Most of the land around Pebmarsh village belonged to Earls Colne Priory a wealthy monastery about 10 kilometers to the south and it may be that by the 13th and 14th centuries the tyes were maintained by tenant farmers paying rent to the Priory. Hayles Tye seems to have got its name from a certain John Hayle who is documented in the 1380s although there are records pointing to occupation of the site at a much earlier date. The name was still in use in 1500 and crops up again throughout the 16th and 17th centuries usually in relation to the payment of taxes or tithes. At some point during the 18th century the name is changed to File s Green though no trace of an owner called .
