Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	In TLAHS LXIX (1995), the writer put forward a list of 187, mostly named, woodlands for which at least one documentary reference relating to the middle ages had been established. All the woodlands were, or were believed to have been discrete entities i.e., each had been hedged or fenced to form ‘islands’ set within, for the most part, an agricultural landscape of arable, pasture, meadow and ‘waste’. All were actively managed for wood and timber which formed a vital mainstay in the lives of our ancestors. Not surprisingly, such woodlands remained one of the more enduring features of the local medieval landscape. The problems involved in compiling the list were described. These included the difficulties of identifying and tracing the fortunes of a single woodland over the ages as its form, area, name, and nature changed (or did not change), usually undocumented, as a result of local and wider social and economic forces. The relationships between woodlands recorded for the medieval period and those described in Domesday Book (1086) were also noted. Over the last decade or so 19 more records which meet the original criteria have been assembled.
