Location

This extract from Faden’s 1797 Map of Norfolk (digitally redrawn by Andrew Macnaire December 2004) shows Low Common at the northern end of the village. It has retained the same name from early times (there is a reference in the Court of the Manor of Deopham of the Dean & Chapter of Canterbury September 1636 to Low Common) through to the current times.

1814 Inclosures

Low Common was radically changed by being divided and fenced. It was the largest single common to be redistributed by the 1814 process.
There is more information on the Inclosures here.
