New article name is Tidgrove

Tidgrove is a place in Hampshire, England, thought to be the "Titegrave" of the Doomesday Survey. At Tidgrove in the twelth century King Henry ll built a palace complex within a fortified enclosure, including domestic chambers, a chapel and great hall. See Colvin " The Kings Works" Many references to Tidgrove can be found in The Great Rolls of Pipe until 1178 when the name ceased to be used, historians now beleive that the king chose to rename the royal forest in which the palace stood as "Freemantle" from the previous name of "Wittingley" According to Dugdale one of Fair Rosamond's bowers was in this forest, which may account for the kings many visits, she died in 1176.
