Up Green

Up Green was a small area, semi-circular in shape, sometimes call 'Roundabouts', part of what was to become Lacey Green, one of the Upper hamlets of Princes Risborough. Documents in 1775 state that it was all freehold at that time, therefore it no longer belonged to the Manor of Princes Risborough. The other part referred to was known as Lower Green.
