TWO FOREST LODGES. 



woodward of I')anetts hills and Chincford Haurke." A much earlier 

 roll'' is unfortunately imperfect, having apparently been cut off just 

 below the name of the fourth woodward in Waltham Half Hundred. 

 My suggestion, then, is that Dannetts is merely a variant from the 

 earlier 1 )anhurst ; and that Danhurst was once the name of a part 

 of the Forest between Chingford Halk (Hawk Wood) and Buck- 

 hurst Hill. I can only hope that this suggestion will lead to the 

 production of evidence either in its favour or conclusively against 

 it. And such may well exist among the Heathcote archives or 

 clscwlierc. 



Fairmead Lodge, Epping Forest, with Old Oak.

The second lodge may, I think, be safely identified with that 

 indifferently known as Pairmead or Sotheby's, near High Beach, 

 mention of which was made in a recent article in The Essex 

 Naturalist." The Standing also there mentioned seems to have 

 been always a copyhold of Loughton Manor, and there is no reason 

 to think that it was ever a Forest lodge.
