Kingswood
Major Settlement in the Parish of Kingswood
Etymology
In the perambulation of Bernwood Forest, dated 1298, and printed in VCH ii. 132, there is mention of 'the lord King's wood.' It is traditionally associated with Fair Rosamund and on an old map printed by Lipscomb (i. 513) a lane between the woods appears as 'Rosiman's Waye.'
