WHITLEWOOD-FOREST, (Northamptonshire) or WHITLEBURY-FOREST, has Wakefield Lodge, a seat of the D. of Grafton, 3 m. S. of Towcester. The forest is, according to an accurate survey of it, 9 m. 2 furlongs, and 26 perches in length, from the r. Ouse on the S.W. to the N. W. end of Wapenham-Wood. In the narrowest part, viz. from the N. E. side of Paulsperry-Park to the nearest part of Hebourn-Field it is but 5 furlongs and 28 perches; but from the S.W. point of Westfield-Green, in a N. E. direction to tbe Watling-Street, it is 3 m. 1 furlong, and 4 perches. Fourteen T.-ships are allowed a right of common here for their cows and horses in the open coppices and ridings; and on account of the injury they may happen to receive from the excursions of the deer, there are only 2 lawns for the latter, which are secluded by rails from the forest cattle.
