Background
History
Part or all of Clarendon Forest was once known as Penchet. This name derives from Common Brittonic, from the words found today in modern Welsh as ("head, end, summit") and ("woodland"). Thus the name once meant "end of the wood". Clarendon Forest housed a royal hunting lodge in the 12th century, which was expanded into a royal palace in the 13th. In the 16th century the buildings reverted to a hunting lodge and were then abandoned. Today only foundations and part of one wall survive.
