Charter of the Forest – Stop Frame Animation Celebrates 800 years
Author: NFNPA Archaeology
In 1217 the Charter of the Forest was issued on behalf of the nine year old king Henry III.
This Charter was the starting point for some fundamental rights that still underpin the modern New Forest, so in 2017 we are celebrating its 800th anniversary.
If you live in the New Forest or further afield, you have the Charter of the Forest to thank for rights that nowadays we all take for granted.
This stop frame animation was created with the help of families visiting the 2017 New Forest Show and celebrates the 800th anniversary of the Charter of the Forest.
