 Nobody knows the site of the medieval settlement of Yaldhurst but today the name is preserved in the former farmhouse of Yaldhurst (which is a listed building) and the lane leading to it from Pennington Common.Pennington is now a separate ward within the New Forest district of Hampshire, but it was for centuries a separate manor.The manor is recorded as Penyton in the 12th century, and as Penington in 1272.
