This beautiful park consists of one and a half acres of land in the heart of the
village. It includes a public well, and a few small allotments for
gardening the trade spoke who do not have farmland at their own. During
the day, people often pick me from this spot, or do a little gardening
in the late afternoon.
A particular corner of the commons
up against the keeps walls are concealed by a number of thick gardenia
bushes and covered by an old oak tree planted in memory of an adventure r
who was born in the town and died 60 years previously. It is a popular place for amorous teenagers and adulterous adults to tryst.
During the day the town's Beadle (see the Church) often hangs about this area to offer news and ensure the good conduct of the citizens. Mairi, the wife of the captain of the guard (see A: the Keep) teaches the village children basic literacy and numeracy here on sunny days. In the evening one of the Men-at-arms is found here, and another patrols the streets. The Beadle is known to wander through at odd hours trying to catch bad conduct.
