Summary

A deer park was noted at this location on a 1586 map. Ashill's 1581 map shows a park somewhat to the west and southwest of what is now Park Farm, and northeast of Panworth. It is however not possible to transcribe the area of the park directly from this onto the modern Ordnance Survey map.
