  • The Rockingham Forest Connection
    King’s Cliffe: The Rockingham Forest Connection (With acknowledgments to our sources: ‘Rockingham Forest Revisited’ by Dr Peter Hill; ‘The Royal Forests of Northants 1558 – 1714’ by P A J Pettit; and ‘The Royal Forests of England’ by J Charles Cox.) Some early history … The ancient woodlands of the Rockingham Forest area were once part of a great prehistoric forest which stretched from Peterborough to Oxford. Stone Age man settled in the area and neolithic remains have been found in places such as Gretton, Oundle, Twywell, Weldon, Wansford and Brigstock. Bronze Age finds include pottery at Oundle, Corby, Weldon and Wakerley; a skeleton and bronze dagger near Corby; several burial sites; and a drinking cup at Fotheringay. Iron Age people are known to have settled on three pieces of high ground in the area – at Rockingham, Wadenhoe and at Wakerley. Remains of iron smelting furnaces at Wakerley show that our ancestors were already making use of iron ore deposits. The smelting process needed a lot of heat and they made charcoal to fuel their furnaces. The Romans also made use of the iron ore deposits. Extensive iron smelting from the Roman period has been unearthed close to Bulwick and in Bedford Purlieu woods. Roman occupation was not just a temporary affair. They drove a road west from Ermine Street running from Wansford to the foot of the hill outside King’s Cliffe. They also built villas in the area. Tessellated pavements have been excavated near Deene, at Lowick and Weekley, and a villa and large mosaics was found in the grounds of Apethorpe Hall in 1859.
