Encyclopedia : B : BR : BRO : Brook, New Forest, Hampshire

Brook is a small village in Hampshire, England. It lies just inside the New Forest.

On the outskirts of the village lies the Rufus Stone. This stone is said to mark the place where in 1100 the then King of England, William Rufus, was killed by an arrow whilst out hunting. The arrow was fired by a French nobleman, Walter Tyrell, but it has never been established if the death was an accident or murder.
