Although not unique to England, commons do not exist everywhere. I'd be 
very reluctant to tag commons without local knowledge, as the key aspect 
of commons are the rights of the commoners.

Commons are not always grass areas, they can be forested, where there 
would be rights to harvest wood, nor is a common recreation area, 
although they sometimes get used for that.
