| Description: | This is an article in 'Avon Past', No. 7, pages 7-11.John S. Moore shows that what is now South Gloucestershire was once (from the 10th century, or earlier) the forest of Kingswood. This, he says, had a political and cultural entity of its own, even including language. The great forest gradually shrank to the mediaeval Forest of Alveston, 'the king's park' being at its heart. |
