A memoranda of 1698, from court rolls of circa 1407 relating to Nether Hall, Thurston, discusses land at cited location saying how Purnell Close (field) was thrice called Purnell Green which was believed to have been a Common. Purnal names survived in circa 1840 tithe apportionment for three fields, which in conjunction with 1698 map have been used to approximately define Green on HER map.
