Sporelake Lawn
Slightly surprised to find a maintenance tag asking what/where Sporelake Lawn is. There is already a footnote explaining where it was. I supposed I'd better clarify what it was. In the New Forest (and at one time in all England) a "lawn" refers to an open space in the woods where horses and cattle feed. Balmer Lawn is, I believe, the biggest and most famous lawn in the Forest. Many lawns have now disappeared, and Sporelake Lawn is one such lawn. Or at least, it certainly isn't marked on the 1:25000 OS map. The lawn has presumably reverted to forest, which why the footnote says vaguely that it was in the Hollands Wood area. You can see its approximate location on Geograph. Scroll just a little to the south and you'll reach Brockenhurst and scroll just a little to the north and you'll reach Lyndhurst. So he lived in a prime spot right at the heart of the New Forest, and two rather fancy hotels now border the area where he lived. Pasicles (talk) 20:25, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
