Does anyone have the Long, Lat and Altitude of the Trippes Farm, Penny's field and High Elms?

The WGS84 GPS co-ordinates (in "dd mm.mmm" format) I have are as follows:

High Elms:    N51 21.103 E0 04.526 311ft
Tripes Farm:  N51 22.320 E0 07.500 240ft

The High Elms position is (I think) the platform by the pond beside the hall. The Tripes Farm position is somewhere in the middle of the field. I don't have a position for Penny's field, but it might be possible to get one off streetmap.co.uk or some such....
