Common Land

Chippenhall Green, which contains forty acres, is the sole survivor of large tracts of Common Land which lay close to the boundary of the parish. As an unimproved grassland habitat, it has been notified by the Nature Conservancy Council as a site of special scientific interest. No record exists of the enclosure of Great Whittingham Green, Little Whittingham Green, Gules Green, Ufford Green and Butcher's Green. It is likely most survived into the eighteenth century. Enclosure of the fifty one acre Hussey Green took place in 1796. Those with Rights of Common do not own the soil but freely enjoy what another's land produces.
