Talk:Penge Common

"It was originally a detached hamlet of the parish of Battersea and grew larger as wood was taken from the Great North Wood to the north.

An area was excised from the northernmost part of Penge Common and named Penge Place. This was combined with part of Upper Norwood for the Crystal Palace Park, site of the relocated Crystal Palace."

This entry has been edited into gibberish. The hamlet is Penge, not Penge Common and the relationship of Penge and Battersea is well covered in the Penge Wikipedia entry. There was no such place as Upper Norwood when Penge Place was created.

The current sentence#2 is still problematical: "It abutted the Great North Wood and John Roque's 1745 map of London and its environs showed that Penge Common now included part of that wood." Apart from the garbled tense of the sentence, Roque's map shows Penge Common going over a hill, and not into woodland. The London Encyclopedia suggests that Penge means 'place at the end of the wood'. Penge Place was built after the Croydon enclosure Act of 1797, which also defined Norwood's boundaries. (Upper Norwood was recognised as a parish in its own right when it gained All Saints Church in 1829.) Ephebi 16:38, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
