Monument record 0700600000 - Moor Common

Up in the Chilterns some 2,000 acres once formed three detached portions of Lewknor parish [Oxfordshire] and together constituted the division of Lewknor Uphill, but in 1844 they were transferred to Buckinghamshire. They now belong to other parishes: Studdridge, with a portion of Wormsley, has been joined to Stokenchurch; Cadmore End was made in 1852 into a separate parish; and Moor End or Ackhampstead, which was once an outlying chapelry, was added in 1885 to Great Marlow (B1).
The whole ecclesiastical parish of Great Marlow, to which Ackhampstead in Lewknor-up-Hill, Oxon., was added by Local Government Board Order in 1885, was divided for civil purposes into two parishes by a further Local Government Board Order which came into operation 1 October 1896. One of these, comprising the area of the urban district, was known as Marlow (Urban) and the other consisted of the remainder of the old civil parish, including Bovingdon Green, Harleyford, Lane End, &c., called Great Marlow (B2).
The hamlet of Moor Common and Moor End Common appears as a few scattered farms and isolated cottages until the 20th century when infilling first occurred (B3).
