Lyndhurst
Lyndhurst is a large town and also civil parish located in the New Forest National Forest in Hampshire, England. Working as the management resources of the New Forest, it is a prominent visitor attraction, with many independent shops, art galleries, cafés, museums, clubs as well as resorts. The local city is Southampton, about 9 miles (14 km) to the north-east. As of 2001 Lyndhurst had a population of 2,973, increasing to 3,029 at the 2011 Census. The name stems from an Old English name, comprising words lind (lime tree) as well as hyrst (wooded hill). Referred to as the "Capital of the New Forest", Lyndhurst houses the New Forest District Council. The first reference of Lyndhurst was in the Domesday Book of 1086 under the name 'Linhest'. The Court of Verderers beings in the Queens House in Lyndhurst. The church of St. Michael and All Angels was built in the 1860s, and also has a fresco by Lord Leighton as well as stained-glass home windows by Charles Kempe, William Morris, Edward Burne-Jones and others; Alice Liddell, the motivation for Alice in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, is buried there. Glasshayes House (the previous Lyndhurst Park Hotel) is the only enduring instance of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's building trial and error, and regional mythology records Lyndhurst as the site of a Dragon-slaying, and also as being haunted by the ghost of Richard Fitzgeorge de Stacpoole, 1st Duc de Stacpoole.
