It is located east of the River Misbourne and was one of Chalfont St Peter's three commons (the other two being Gold Hill Common and Austenwood Common). Housing of all sorts developed around and on the common, some dating back to the 1890s.[2] In the 1960s a post office was constructed on the common, which has since closed.
It is also the home of the Epilepsy Society which was founded in 1892.
