Name origin
The "Green" in the name "Greensted Green" refers to an area directly to the south of the Greensted road and the east of the Toot Hill road which was fenced off for agricultural use probably towards the end of the nineteenth century. The south western corner of the former green was for many years a marshy area at the confluence of various drainage ditches, but towards the end of the twentieth century it was dug out and extended, to create a small pond for ducks and (especially in winter) geese.
