The common is made up of mixed broadleaf woodland, scrubland and acid grassland and is generally flat.[1] It is owned by the Dean and Chapter of St Paul's Cathedral, acting through the Church Commissioners,[1] and managed by the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, advised and assisted by the charity Barnes Common Limited (previously known as Friends of Barnes Common).[3][1][4]
Mill Hill is effectively an enclave of eleven large houses surrounded by the Common, three of which are listed buildings.

History
Singer and rock musician Marc Bolan died on the common on 16 September 1977 when the car he was being driven in crashed into a tree,[5] at what is now Marc Bolan's Rock Shrine.
In August 1736 the common hosted a cricket match between Surrey and London. This is the only time that a reference to the common is found in surviving cricket records.[6] Шаблон:Infobox organization Шаблон:Commons category
