Description

IXHILL WAS A WALK OF THE ROYAL FOREST OF BERNWOOD (A WALK WAS AN AREA OF FOREST IN THE CHARGE OF A KEEPER & UNDER KEEPER) (B6).
IN 1623 THE KEEPER AT IXHILL WAS COMMANDED TO PUBLISH IN LOCAL CHURCHES AN ORDER TO PROTECT THE DEER IN THE AREA, PRESERVED THERE FOR THE PRINCE'S BUCKHOUNDS (B3).
In 1086, the Domesday Survey recalls that Robert de Oilgi held at Oakley 'woodland for 200 swine, except that it is in the King's preserve (parcus regis)'. Like Long Crendon, the park at Oakley lay within the royal forest of Bernwood. No subsequent references occur (B7).
