He was for many years President of the Princes Risborough branch of the Mid-Bucks Conservative and Unionist Association. He was for a long time Ruling Councillor of The Primrose League. He was J.P. for Bucks and Chairman of the Risborough branch.
		+
		+	He did much to follow the ideals set out in the Conservative Primrose League. '''''Note''' No doubt this would have impressed the Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli, whose home and estate in the Hughenden Valley stretched to include Walters Ash, where their two estates virtually touched.''

		+
		+	'''JOHN FORREST’S FARM BAILLIFFS'''
		+
		+	When John Forrest died in 1910 at Cheltenham, he owned 3 farms in Lacey Green, '''[[Speen Farm]]''', '''[[Stocken Farm]]''', and '''[[Lane Farm]]'''. He had at least 3 farm bailiffs. They all lived at Stocken Farm. Poulton, 1903; John Crook, 1905; and William Redding 1907. John Crook had two daughters. One, Edith, walked with a stick and was a supplementary teacher at the school. John Crook was considered a superior type. Mr. and Mrs. Redding had a daughter Connie, who impaled her leg on the fence at the school, also a son Jack.
		+
		+	'''TWO GARDENERS'''
		+
		+	His gardener Mason lived in a Grymsdyke cottage, opposite [[Grymsdyke]]. The under gardener for 16 years was George Floyd who lived in the farmhouse of [[Lane Farm]]. George Floyd was also the secretary of [[The Reading Room]], which John Forrest had provided with newspapers. The Reading Room was a political idea to provide a ‘club’ to encourage men out of the pubs. He also ran The Primrose League for John Forrest.
		+
		+	'''REAL WELL at GRYMSDYKE'''
		+
		+	John Forrest had a proper well dug at Grymsdyke, first to 303 feet, then later, 48 feet further. He laid a pipeline connecting the 6 water tanks at Stocken Farm to those at Grymsdyke.
		+
		+	'''''Note Regarding the Census'''''
		+
		+	''After the purchase of Grymsdyke in 1878, John and Eveline Forrest seem to regard that as their main residence, although they are rarely there for the census. They still had family at Cheltenham to visit, and son Frank was born in 1878 at Longdon, Worcestershire. John Forrest, seems to be at different addresses, most often in or around Cheltenham, probably in rented accommodation. In 1901 they were both at Grymsdyke, where Evelyn died in 1905. John died in 1910 in Cheltenham but his funeral was in Lacey Green.''
