Hearsall Common/ˈhɜːrsəl/ is located in Earlsdon, Coventry in the West Midlands, central England.[1]
The common consists of a large grassy area with a smaller partly tarmacadamed area on one side of Hearsall Common Road,[2] and a wooded nature reserve on the other side.[2][3] It is free to enter and open to the public as of right, 24 hrs a day;[1] however, after several years of residents complaining about itinerant or nomadic travellers using the common, an embankment was built alongside the roads to prevent vehicles from driving onto the common. The common has for a long time been host to circus and fairs. Previously it hosted the 'crock fair'.
Hearsall Common has a long history of being common land going back to at least the thirteenth century. It was reassigned as recreation ground by a Coventry Corporation Act of 1927, along with other areas of common land in Coventry.
