It certainly is!  The best I can do is to suggest a couple of web pages.  There may well be others.  Some information about court leets in North Yorkshire is found at http://www.balh.co.uk/lhn/article_file_lhn-vol1iss107-2.xml.html.  General information about common land, and a number of further links, can be found at https://www.gov.uk/owning-common-land.
