as a modern residential development, it has a large village green.
(Is it the UK's largest modern village green?)

One which is 'part of the 100 acres (about a quarter of the total site of
380 acres) given over to trees and green spaces. Dotted around this

for small children and ball parks for older ones.'

P.S. Is this web address a record for length?

Thorpe Marriott has come a long way since this early article. Read the bit about
the 'dynamic woman minister at the church' helping in 'bringing the community together' - which Trinity church congregation and this site seek to continue.
