Micheldever Wood
The place is described in text Cobbett 1830

refce: Cobbett 1830
... Above all, he [Sir THOMAS BARING] has Micheldever Wood, which, they say, contains a thousand acres, and which is one of the finest oak-woods in England. This large and very beautiful estate must have belonged to the Church at the time of Henry the Eighth's 'reformation'. It was, I believe, given by him to the family of Russell; and, it was, by them, sold to Sir Francis Baring about twenty years ago.
