The green was the common land at the heart of the medieval village. It is shown on Rain's Eye Plan of 1790. By 1737 (Burleigh and Thompson's map) around the green were small houses interspersed with workshops, corn mills, slaughter houses and tanneries. Bull baiting took place on the green. Today the Town Park includes the remanants of the green. It is soft landscaped area with mature trees and shrubbery.
