In the Medieval period, and possibly earlier, the owner of common land was the lord of the manor in which the common lay. In the case of Hartlebury the Bishops of Worcester. Ownership was then passed on to his legal descendant down the centuries. In 1968 it passed to the County Council and in 1979 was designated a Local Nature Reserve and it has SSSI status.

You must be aware also that all land sold or purchased will have a title of deeds showing such owners and ownerships. If their is such a document for Hartlebury Common, it will be a first.

Also, the church has no record of such a transaction, we have checked. What has been shown by WCC is a conveyencing document, not title deeds!

We have already tried to see the so called deeds, (FOI) Fiona Morgan was adamant, that she new where they were, at the land registry. They have yet to surface though, even in court.

After stating he had no expertise in these matters, the judge at our hearing accepted this erouneous document as proof of ownership.
