Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Holmwood Common, from Mill Lane. Part of the ancient Manor of Dorking, Holmwood Common was owned by King Harold before the Norman Conquest. Until the 19th-century the common was woodland. This changed when commoners began to use it for turf, timber and grazing, slowly transforming it into wood pasture. Some ancient oaks still survive today - almost 200 years on. In the 1920s commoning began to dwindle and the grassland returned to woodland. |
