		By implication, this became the southernmost boundary of Whittlewood Forest, and the surviving documentary evidence appears to confirm that this was indeed the case.
		At the forest eyre of 1286 the vill of Falcutt near Helmdon was amerced for forest offences, and in both 1255 and 1286 the inhabitants of places such as Astwell, Bradden, Slapton, Wappenham and Whitfield were required to conduct inquiries into breaches of forest law that had occurred within the forest.
		The core of the forest consisted of the king’s demesne woods of Handley, Hazelborough, Puxley, Shrob, Silverstone, and Wakefield, and the woods belonging to the lord of Greens Norton.

	The Royal Forest of Bernwood (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Old maps of Bernwood Forest show much the same chessboard pattern of fields and woods that persist today except there were trees growing on what is now the open grass and bracken of Brill Common.
		Forest, in this context, was basically a technical lawyer's term that meant that the area in question came within the jurisdiction of the Forest Law, a Norman innovation.
		The object of the Forest Law was to ensure the preserving of all red and fallow deer.

	A HISTORY OF HORTON CUM STUDLEY
		It maybe that as Asham was on the Oxford side of Bernwood Forest and only easily accessible from Oxford Direction, it was not considered a part of Buckinghamshire by the lords of Boarstall or Brill, especially as Asham had been granted to other lords of the manor.
		Bernwood Forest was granted to "Neil" by Edward the Confessor, and this included Boarstall.
		Part of the forest that is now part of Whitecross Green Woods was granted to Oriel Cottage in 1586 and the Victoria County History for Buckinghamshire suggests that Old and New Arngrove fields along with Stonehouse fields were enclosed before 1577.

	Lack-Of: Orienteering (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		There are numerous blocks of slow-run or worse forest, and most of the runnable forest is marked as covered with undergrowth, which gives the map a very green appearance.
		The control was in a pit by a gentle re-entrant, with a forest road to the south, a ride to the west and a vegetation boundary corner a short distance to the southeast, near the end of a ditch.
		I've been to Epping Forest NW a couple of times, but it was nice to visit a different part of the premier orienteering area within the M25.

		The following reference sources have been used in the construction of this page, and may be referred to for further detail.
		Bernwood was disforested in the reign of James I. Borstall-house was one of King Charles's garrisons, in 1644, and perhaps at an earlier period of the civil war.
		It appears that in the Spring of that year, it having been thought useless to retain possession of some of the lesser garrisons, this house(among others) was evacuated, and the fortifications destroyed.

		It is situated within the limits of the ancient forest of Bernwood, which was very extensive and thickly wooded.
		This forest, in the neighbourhood of Brill, where Edward the Confessor had a palace, was infested with a ferocious wild boar, which had not only become a terror to the rustics, but a great annoyance to the royal hunting expeditions.
		The same figure of a boar's head presented to the king was, says Kennett, carved on the head of an old bedstead lately remaining in that strong and ancient house; and the said arms of Fitz-Nigel are now seen in the windows and in other parts.

	Lack-Of: Bernwood Forest Summer Series event
		It was held at Bernwood Forest, a considerable-sized area within cycling distance of Oxford.
		The terrain in Bernwood isn't particularly exciting — it's similar to many East Midlands 'block forests', with a network of paths and tracks dividing the forest into blocks, and few contours.
		However, we wouldn't have seen Bernwood at its best, since it was wet and the undergrowth had grown up in places.

	Northamptonshire Moths - Picture Gallery
		The wood originally occupied an area of about 200 acres and was a typical Rockingham Forest damp wood lying on clay, primarily of ash, field maple, hazel and oak.
		In common with other former Rockingham Forest woodlands the ground was rich in iron ore and in about 1950 permission was granted to Stewarts and Lloyds of Corby for opencast quarrying of the wood and surrounding fields.
		Generally speaking the species became extinct in the Rockingham Forest over 60 years ago, but some stock from Bernwood Forest was then successfully reintroduced to Fermyn Wood where it has spread to other suitable nearby woodland.
