Hyde Park from Domesday-book to Date

The only History of Hyde Park, at all worthy of the name, is Vol. I. of The Story of the London Parks, by Jacob Larwood.

Contrary to what one might expect, these forests were not reserved for the sole hunting of the King and his favourites; but, as we are informed by the same writer, many of the citizens took great delight in fowling, with merlins, hawks, etc. (which showed how wealthy they were at that time), and they had the right and privilege of hunting in Middlesex, Hertfordshire, in all the Chiltern country, and in{2} Kent, as far as the River Cray. And this forest of Middlesex was only disforested in 1218 (2 Henry III.). ......Buy Now (To Read More)
