This plantation will be dedicated to the memory of Lady Mary Bessborough, wife of the 10th Earl of Bessborough who was an American. She worked tirelessly for the good of people on and around the Stansted estate and for the Stansted Park Foundation when it was set up in 1883 until her death in 2013.As a fitting link, the small clump of oak to the south of this area was planed by Havant Girl Guides in November 1970. This was to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of the Guides movement and a plaque to this effect was unveiled by Lady Bessborough who was very involved with them at the time.
