INFORMATION

Lyndhurst Reference Library
Jude James the librarian kindly showed a group of 10 of us around this library which had taken 10 years to create. the wealth of information on all aspects of the New Forest is phenomenal and Jude spoke for well over an hour (without any reference to notes) we were immensely impressed by the content and by Jude. On behalf of the group I sent him a card thanking him and wishing him a long (and probably industrious) retirement.
