Title: Sarisbury Green [Go to resource]
Description: Sarisbury was once part of the Hundred and of the parish of Titchfield. The Green itself dates back to at least the middle of the 18th century, when there is a record for it being used for cricket matches. In the 1860's, most of the common land in the area was affected by the Land Enclosure Act, which aimed to fence all common land and use it for cultivation. The green, however was protected by another Act of Parliament which preserved village greens, so the green was saved. Reference; 1. Emery, John. 1985. Fareham in old Picture Postcards, p. 114.
