Giggs Hill Green : ウィキペディア英語版 | Giggs Hill Green Giggs Hill Green is a triangular park in Thames Ditton, bordered on one side by the Portsmouth Road, Southern England which has since 1833 contained as a major portion of it, the village's cricket green. Previously part of the waste (unproductive land) with a high subsoil of clay, gravel and flint belonging to the manor of Kingston, the of Giggs Hill Green were purchased in 1901 for £250 () by Esher and Dittons Urban District Council. ==Origins of its name== The mystery of Giggs Hill Green is that there is no hill. The Green has had several different spellings over the centuries. In the 15th and 16th centuries, it was known as 'Le Gighill', 'Gyghyll', the 'lane called Gyghill' and 'Giggehill'. In Middle English, 'gigge' means a whirling thing, so perhaps a maypole was implied.
