Worcestershire, Straffordshire, Nor
thants and Sussex have more inclosed
land given up to deer than any other
counties.
There is something peculiarly ma

after the Conquest the barons began to
fnclose parks within the forests and
to include within them all the wild
animals that could then be secured.
OF these the $500 acres OF park at
