The perambulation (known ever since as "the 1240 Perambulation") took place on 24 July 1240. As usual the clockwise perambulation is maintained outside of the Bali stones. Until the 1967 forest perambulation fencing, New Forest ponies were free to roam its streets. During this anti-clockwise perambulation, the devotee should tread a path inside of the Bali stones. Dorothy's most famous book was "The Life and Perambulation of a Mouse" (1784).
