Immediately east of Marburg on the former Walloon scrubland is Haigslea, known as Kircheim until 1916. Anti-German feeling resulted in the Allied General Douglas Haig being remembered by the renamed village. Kircheim was intensely German (over 60% of farmers in 1913 had German family names), and German settlement extended from Marburg to Walloon.
