What is this service?

The park today occupies an area of 9.28 hectares, which is about one tenth of its original size. The northern boundary previously extended as far as the High Street, with the Orangery building situated in The Square once being within the parkland.

There were deer in this park up until 1898. Plans in the early 18th century to build a new mansion in the park involved the Venetian architect Giacomo Leoni, who was chosen to design the building and carry out landscaping. Only the Orangery was built, although architectural drawings for the mansion were published.
