Originally a field called Upper Eight Acres according to Cuckfield's 1843 tithe map during the mid 19th century it became part of the grounds of a substantial villa called Beech Hurst. On the death of the last owner the grounds were offered to the local council who landscaped it into a public garden that included bowling greens and a miniature railway. The Lower Meadow covers the area between the railway and Bolnore Road.
