Also known as Limekilns Pool Plantation, and part of a larges wood with Minton’s Pool Plantation, Willmoor Pool Plantation, and The Pools Plantation. In the 1917 sale catalogue, it was listed as 27.45 acres in size. Since the sale, all of these plantations have been grubbed up and turned back into fields.
In 1891, Forbes’ survey described the plantation:
The margins of this Wood contain little but coppice with Oak, Poplar, and other standards. The coppice is in fairly good condition on the East, West and South sides. The central part consists of Oak, Elm, Alder, etc about forty years of age and requires very little thinning. About three acres of Willow rods and seven acres of underwood may be cut, together with most of the old timber standing in the coppice.
