The setting for chapter 7 is the woods overlooking Stromford Village. This is because Crispin is on the run after being pursued by Aycliffe, the steward.
Aycliffe's pursuit compels Crispin to hide in the woods. In chapter 4, we learn that Crispin has to return to the forest after he discovers that the bailiff, Roger Kinsworthy, and the reeve, Odo Langland, are making their way to his cottage. Both men are carrying pikes and axes, which further alarms Crispin.
The young boy climbs up a high rock near the forest's edge. From there, he has a panoramic view of the entire village and its surroundings. In chapter 6, Crispin sees a search party setting out with glaives (long poles with sharp blades) and bows. The steward and bailiff are heading the group. Crispin knows that the men are looking for him.
In chapter 7, Crispin continues to hide in the woods. At one point, the men approach his hiding spot. Fortunately, they do not see him, as he is hiding in the thick foliage of an oak tree. It is only at night that Crispin dares to emerge from the woods.
