History
Horseman's Green is one of a number of villages in the
Maelor Saesneg containing the element "Green" in their names, indicating that they came into existence in relatively modern times with the enclosure of former common land. The name Horseman's Green is first recorded at the very end of the 17th century in the form "Horse Math's Green", likely derived from the obsolete dialect word "math", meaning "a mowing" (i.e. meadow land).[1]
