With the armorial bookplate of Edward Machen; born as Edward Tomkins Davies in 1783. He was the first of what might be termed the modern Deputy Surveyors of the Forest of Dean. He became the longest serving Deputy Surveyor 1808 to 1854 and had a significant impact upon the landscape structure of the Forest that we know today. He changed his name to Edward Machen in 1816 after inheriting Eastbach Court from his Uncle and at that point he assumed his Uncles surname. He had oversight of the Forest from the time of the Dean Forest Timber Act of 1808 and with the support of Lord Glenbervie Surveyor General of Woods he set about the landscape scale enclosure and planting of the Forest with oak. He established Whitemead Park as the principle offices of the Office of Woods in 1814 and where he lived after moving from Eastbach Court. He was in charge at the time of the Warren James Riots of 1831 and was an important member of the Parliamentary Commission that sat in the years after the riots. That Commission was responsible for key aspects of the Deans cultural landscape the regularisation of squatter cottages and the regularisation of mining. After retiring Edward was elected as a Verderer in 1860. He was a recognised and influential figure in the community. Third edition. Cloth. Good.
