What is recorded here

The Civil survey (1654-6) mentions a fair stone house at the Great Forrest held by Lord Ranelagh (Simington 1945, 113). This is probably the building shown on the 1840 OS 6-inch map. as 'Forrest House in ruins'. In the 1992 report there were foundations of this building present at the rear of a large farmhouse. Now a yard. No visible remains. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 09 January 2015
