| Trees |
Woods and forests, on John Norden's map of Hampshire,
are shown by little trees. Some of the old forests
are labelled; all that have been recognised are listed
below. There are also trees in parks.
The placement of the forest name labels demonstrates
the difficulties of that map making task. If you didn't
know that there is a West Bere Forest you might never
have associated the detached letters scattered
between 'sparshott', 'wecke', 'pitt' and hillock and
tree symbols:-
A later copyist manages to detach the 'Beare' to
change 'Weeke' village into 'Beareweeke', leaving a
'West Forest'.
