I will add this direct qoute from the history society in regards to ownership of the common

"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."

this is then attached to the above persons comments on the commons and their link to the directgov page
