Harrold Green is at the heart of the village, the centre piece of village events and the site of the markets and fairs of years gone by. The 18th Century Buttermarket still stands in the centre and the19th Century village Lock-up , Old Smithy, Old Courthouse and old school building are reminders of the past from which it has evolved. The watercolour above was painted in around 1820 and shows the Green at that time without the trees which are such a feature of today. Missing too are the Lock-up (built circa 1824) and the 1920s war memorial.
