| Parks |
Parks on Speed's map of Hampshire, are shewn by a ring of paling
fence. This might enclose a group of trees, and perhaps a symbol
for a settlement of some sort. Most of the parks are just ovals;
Titchfield has a double ring. At least one park is labelled:-
Preu park, but others are only named by implication from
the enclosed settlement name - the settlement may be just the
park house. 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 Speed'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. |
