SHOTOVER-FOREST, (Oxfordshire) the demesne of which is in crown, lies upon and about Shotover-Hills, on the E. and N. E.
sides of Oxford. It is remarkable for large timber, for the best ochre 1n the world, for a sort of earth, which takes
grease out of cloaths; and for a kind of tobacco pipe-clay; which is excellent for the models of statues. Dr. Bancroft,
Bp. of Oxford, nephew to the Abp. obtained this royalty of Shotover for his see.
