The field immediately south of Maudlin Farm, Warkworth was known as the bomb field as one exploded there damaging the nearby farmhouse, I wonder if it was the same incident?
As an aside the farmer also ploughed up a home guard training spigot mortar bomb in that field and put it in the hedge row, only to find it again a good few years later in the 70s. Catterick bomb disposal got rid of it!
