In response to Gillian's query about poles, according to Wikipedia, links, poles and chains were all known as "Gunter's survey units" from the C17 onward. A link was approx 20.12cm, a pole 5.029m and a chain 20.12m. The pole is also known as a rod or perch.
So there we are.
I'm now not sure how big our allotment is. (N inserts: 5 poles, hence a touch over 125 sq m.)
