Commons and village greens |
|
Binswood, Hampshire – Henry II declared it ‘folkland’ for the
people of Great Worldham in 1134 |
|
Commons or open land used, at least in part, as traditional grazing
land for commoners in the vicinity of settlements. At the start of
the 18th century England and Wales still retained 7-10m acres of
commons managed in an extensive way. It is the loss of much of this
area which has changed our landscape profoundly. |
