Anyone know its history? How old? Is it ancient woodland? Who "owns" it, manages it?

Anyone know its history? How old? Is it ancient woodland? Who "owns" it, manages it?not sure of its history but as far as i know most if not all is public land, its a well known area for a good walk with a lot of it being woodland & fields

Ive spent some happy hours up there over the years. every sunday morning, me and my brother and the dog would go up priory road,up through the top woods then down the middle field and back through the bottom woods,through the wampy bit behind ecclesfield dam, then sit outside the arundel and drink a few well earned pints of tetleys finest, then home for sunday. happy days.
