Part of The Tilt conservation area. Historically, the area was used for May Day celebrations, until stopped in 1902 due to complaints from the locals. Apparently the annual influx of gypsies and showmen proved too great an annoyance to the nearby residents. Cricket matches and horse racing also took place here in the past.
