86 TWO FOREST LODGES.
woodward of Danetts hills and Chincford Haurke." A much earlier
roll6 is unfortunately imperfect, having apparently been cut off just
below the name of the fourth woodward in Waltham Half Hundred.
My suggestion, then, is that Dannetts is merely a variant from the
earlier Danhurst; and that Danhurst was once the name of a part
of the Forest between Chingford Halk (Hawk Wood) and Buck-
hurst Hill. I can only hope that this suggestion will lead to the
production of evidence either in its favour or conclusively against
it. And such may well exist among the Heathcote archives or
elsewhere.
Fairmead Lodge, Epping Forest, with Old Oak.

The second lodge may, I think, be safely identified with that
indifferently known as Fairmead or Sotheby's, near High Beach,
mention of which was made in a recent article in The Essex
Naturalist.7 The Standing also there mentioned seems to have
been always a copyhold of Loughton Manor, and there is no reason
to think that it was ever a Forest lodge.
