Monument record MDR3488 - Former medieval deer park, Haddon
Type and Period (1)
- DEER PARK (Medieval - 1066 AD to 1438 AD)
Protected Status/Designation
- None recorded
Full Description
Haddon Hall was formerly surrounded by a park, enclosed with pales which in 1637 contained 597 head of deer. (1)
A licence to impark was granted in 1330. (2)
It was disparked c. 1770. (3)
The boundaries of the park were not traced. No earthen pale was seen [1966]. (4)
The polygon for this record shows the extent of the former medieval deer park at Haddon, as suggested by Wiltshire and Woore [2009]. They believe it likely that the medieval deer park lay on the east side of the river, as Haddon Registered Park and Garden does today [see also SMR 10424]. During their research, Wiltshire and Woore discovered a documentary reference dating to 1438 that refers to a park at Haddon. (9)
