Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Article discussing a series of perambulations of Wychwood Forest made at the end of the thirteenth century. The author argues that although Edward I intended merely to redefine the existing forests, the perambulations were used to accomplish the disafforestation of private woods by excluding them from the area within the perambulations. The routes taken are discussed in detail as evidence for the nature of the landscape and the tenurial structure of the area at that date. Previously it has been believed that the perambulations were finally accepted in 1327 when Edward III confirmed them, but the author suggests that there is some evidence that they were in practice ignored by the king and forest officials in relation to the `disafforested' areas. In 1641 Charles I was forced to agree to the bounds as commonly accepted in the twentieth year of the reign of James I, the Wychwood inquisition declaring that the forest then consisted only of the area of woodland which had always belonged to the Crown, corresponding to one section only of the c.1300 perambulations; this area remained as the Forest of Wychwood until its disafforestation in 1857.
