Rights of common
A right of common is a right, usually shared with an owner of land to take certain produce off the land. There are many such rights of which pasturage (the right to put animals onto the land to graze) is considered one of the most important. Other rights include, pannage (the right to put pigs onto the land to eat acorns etc.); turbary (the right to cut peat or turf for fuel); estovers (the right to take wood or bracken for fuel) and piscary (the right to fish).
