Stanmore Marsh is former common land that is shown on maps from the late 16th century onwards. Today what remains of the marsh as open land is on the east of where Marsh Lane becomes Honeypot Lane, and is divided into two sections by Whitchurch Lane. It appears that it was once at the boundary of the adjoining parishes of Great Stanmore and Little Stanmore and was grazed by the livestock of commoners from both parishes.
