Leicester Forest, Leicestershire

Written in 1948:

In Leicester Forest West, Roe’s Rest and Stretchnook Farm are the most important of the new inclosures.

In Leicester Forest East it appears likely that Francis King built a house from which to farm the 150 acres at the Sallowes.

Boyer's Lodge is still standing, there being little reason to doubt that the main bay with its two chimneys were set up before Thomas Boyer ceased to be forester.

King's Stand and Forest farms take up more of the four hundred acres comprising the district, and there may have been an older settlement on the site of Leicester Grange, which first appears on the map in 1825 (Ordnance Survey) and has recently been demolished.
