Preservation of Hampstead Heath Reaches Public Use
The Metropolitan Board of Works secures Hampstead Heath for public recreation after a long dispute with the Wilson family and London residents. The outcome promises broad access within months, ending a more than twenty-five year clash over enclosure and control.
Battle over Hampstead Heath enclosure and public access
The long fight between Sir Thomas Maryon Wilson and public bodies over enclosing Hampstead Heath culminates in protracted negotiations after his death. The Metropolitan Board of Works opposed enclosure, forcing concessions and eventual sale of rights, as Sir John Maryon Wilson pursued a limited, faith-based settlement preserving public access while allowing some road-like avenues to his lands.
