Lyndhurst; The Queens House

In the civil parish of Lyndhurst.
In the historic county of Hampshire (Modern Authority of Hampshire, 1974 county of Hampshire).

The manor of Lyndhurst is first recorded in royal hands during C10. More substantial records of manor and manor house exist from 1272 onwards. During the LC13 and C14 the manor was often the property of the Queen and was also linked with the administrative centre for the New Forest; a function it retains to the present. There are fragmentary remains of the medieval structure still incorporated in the present building, and documents refer to repairs to it throughout the Middle Ages. The bulk of the present building dates from C16 with large scale later additions.
