"Woodmen" of the Forest (General)

Thanks for your excellent post. Geat links, especially the one about the establishment of the 24 woodmen's lodges. My relative in Perch Lodge must have been one of the first of that ilk, in that case. All becomes much clearer.

And the photos of the 'standardized' lodges are very interesting. Attractive but functional.

The Guardian article about the boars I remember vaguely, though I don't remember the photo of the unfortunate three-legged boar :) I hadn't realized they had got so well established in the FOD. We have the same problem with badgers up in N Yorks; some locals feed them, others have their chickens killed by them, or try to avoid them on the roads. And then of course there are the foxes .... 'Nuff said. Difficult !

Anyway, light dawns on the Lodges, for which many thanks again.
