Commoners’ Days have been held on Effingham Common for many decades. The earliest one of which we have any recorded images took place in 1980. On these special days, persons having Commoners’ Rights openly exercised those rights, a custom encouraged by the Parish Council.
The subject of Commoners’ Days featured prominently in the earliest work undertaken by ELHG back in 2010, when much of our focus was on the history of the Common and the rights established upon it. Some of this work was displayed by ELHG at its stall in Effingham’s Summer Fete of 2010.
