Jansson's Hampshire 1646

click for feature map
Parks Parks on Jansson's map of Hampshire and Berkshire, 1646, are drawn by a ring of fence palings, shaded to the right, which is to the north. The park might enclose a settlement or house, and perhaps trees which are tinted green. The park or house might be labelled.

Titchfield Park is a double park, with the northern part wooded.

Making a park, the formal procedure of emparkment, is a privelege granted by the Crown. Many of the parks shown on early maps were emparked in the 12th-14th centuries. Parks on Jansson's map are listed below.

Parks, where possible, have been identified with a location, mostly a park, on a modern map. The modern park name is a label to identify the location and may not exist as a current place name.
