| Trees |
Trees, on Norden's map of Hampshire, are shown outsize pictures
of trees. Many of the trees appear to be no more than decoration
- but as this symbol probably has a low priority the distribution
cannot be taken with to be very reliable or significant. One
single tree is named, the Lomer Ash. The trees sometimes
seem to be grouped into woods or forests; in many cases these
groupings can be identified with the royal forests of a previous
age. Forests on Norden's map are listed below. We have not tried to match the groups of trees to present day woods. |
