Introduction
The Common is in two parts, a large area west of Green Lanes and a smaller area to the east that was laid out before 1914, also referred to as Green Gate Common. Two tennis courts were added on the west side before 1935, one converted to a children's playground in 1989, the other now used for basketball.
The name ‘Ducketts’ comes from Laurence Duket, a goldsmith who owned 160 acres of farmland. In the 13th-century, the farmland was originally part of Tottenham manor.
