A rapid survey of the park was undertaken by K D Graham of SyAS for SCC’s Planning Dept, as part of an ongoing project examining Areas of Historic Landscape Value. The park was originally a deer park for the Bishops of Winchester at Farnham Castle, and was created c.1376-7. It incorporates remains of ridge & furrow, which may predate its creation, and features associated with later industrial activity, namely a number of clay pits and at least one medieval kiln.
