In the Post-Medieval period, probably as late as the late 18th or early 19th century, several small-holdings were carved out of the heath. One of these, Merrimans Gate (Marros Tithe map, c. 1840), falls within the plantation area and would have occupied part of the Coed Marros site. The settlement was abandoned by the later 19th-century. In the 1980s much of the evidence for the Medieval open field system was erased during land improvement. The existing plantation on the site dates from the late 1950’s and early 1960’s.
Christopher Robin is the sweet little boy who the children’s story books and poems were written for. Christopher Robin is a ‘Winnie the Pooh’ character brought to life by Alan Alexander Milne. The character of Christopher Robin is based upon author A.A. Milne’s son, Christopher Robin Milne. Christopher Robin was born on August 21, 1920 in Chelsea and died on April 20, 1996. At first his parents thought of ‘Billy’ as their child’s name but subsequently they felt it was quite informal. In order to differentiate from the other Milnes they decided to have two first names for their child, both parents choosing a name. They finally arrived at Christopher Robin, but they often called him “Billy”. Upon growing up he was familiarly know as Christopher.
