Did you know Higham has a Town Green?

Yes, Higham Ferrers does have a Town Green which is located on Stanwick Road just over the footbridge on the far side of the A6. The land has been underused in recent years as it was split when the A6 was constructed and it is now 2 parcels of land. One of which is the 'Dogs Off Lead Area' and the other piece is opposite with a public footpath running through it.

The land is open for public use for sports and recreation. The land has been a recreation ground since 1839 when it was acquired by the Higham Ferrers Recreation Ground Trustees and it was the ground for Higham Ferrers Football Club. The land was gifted to the Higham Ferrers Borough Council as a recreation ground in 1910. It was registered as a Town Green on 29th July 1969 under the Commons Registration Act 1965.
