The recreation ground is, according to a local history website, common land following the Inclosure Act of 1793, which allocated this open space as a tenterfield. The only vestige of commoner's usage today is the horses that are sometimes to be seen grazing on the moor. This one was on a long tether, but was rather unkempt and surrounded by a swarm of flies, so I didn't greet it closely.
