Great Rye Farm
Great Rye Farm, Odihamcounty:
Hampshire
otherwise: Rie, 1228; Rie, la, 1294
RYE, farms in Odiham
Appears, like 'Rye' in Sussex, to be Middle English '(at) ther eie'='(at) the island or raised land in a marsh', though the precise topographical reasons are far from clear. There is a very small rise in the land just East of Great Rye farm; streams rise to the East and NW of the farms.
