| Parks |
Parks on Saxton's map of Hampshire are shown by a ring of
fence palings. The park might contain a settlement symbol;
it is difficult to know when this indicates a hamlet or
village, and when just the house in the park (one could ask,
what is the difference at the time?). Most parks are
drawn roughly circular, but there are a couple of
oddities, Hambledon Park, for example. Some parks
are labelled. Making a park, the formal procedure of emparkment, is a privilege granted by the Crown. Many of the parks shown on early maps were emparked in the 12th-14th centuries. Parks on Saxton'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. |
