Provenance information | Historical Ordnance Survey (OS) maps and a contemporary forest inventory were used to create a GIS database of areas that have been continuously covered by woodland since c. 1830. The 481 woodlands identified by this process were systematically researched using a set of historical national surveys. This allowed stands to be grouped into different woodland categories. Other maps and historical documents were then identified as potential resources for ascribing woodland antiquity and existing research on ancient woodland was collated. Supplementary research included toponymical research and a detailed examination of historical stand type. |
