Forest Hall is the meeting room and shooting ground of the Woodmen of Arden, an exclusive archery club northwest of Meriden. It was founded in 1785 on his Packington estate by Heneage Finch, Fourth Earl of Aylesford for certain Warwickshire gentlemen who were keen to join the revival of the ancient art and craft of toxophily. The buildings are listed: Forest Hall itself, 1788, is Grade II* as is the early C19 neoclassical pavilion; this building, now a dwelling, is early-mid C19 and Grade II. http://www.archerylibrary.com/books/badminton/docs/chapter15/chapter15_1.html http://www.bowyers.com/activities/2007/presentationOfCertificates.php
