Same with Bourne Park, over the 19 years I was flying there, we didn't fly circuits, we approached and departed across farmland rather than towns. It was just the neighbourly thing to do.
In fact, by a strange coincidence, I once met a lady at a family wedding (in Wales!) who lived in the nearest village, Hurstbourne Tarrant. I said, "Oh! I keep my aeroplane there." She looked puzzled. Where? I said Bourne Park, up the top of the hill. She said she knew Bourne Park, but never realised there was an airfield there.
