ARDEN, FOREST OF

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 450 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: APO-ARN
ARDEN, FOREST OF , a
district
  in the north of Warwickshire, England, the " woodland " as opposed to the " felden," or "fielden," i.e. open country, in the
south
 , the river Avon separating the two. Originally it was
part
  of a forest
tract
  of far wider extent than that within the confines of the county, and now, though lacking the true character of a forest, it is still unusually well wooded. The undulating surface ranges for the most
part
  from 250 to 500 ft. in
elevation
 . Wide lands in this
district
  were held in the time of
Edward
  the Confessor by Alwin, whose son Thurkill of ,
Warwick
 , or " of Arden," founded the family of the Warwickshire Ardens who in Queen Elizabeth's time still held several of the manors ascribed to Thurkill in Domesday. Shakespeare, whose
mother
  Mary Arden claimed to be of this family, knew the district well, living as he did at
Stratford
 ; and its natural characteristics, then still unchanged, inspired his pictures of forest life in As You Like It. The name of the Forest of Arden, besides remaining a convenient designation of a well-marked
physical
  area, is preserved in such place-names as Henley-in-Arden and Hampton-in-Arden.
