(SU 4376 - sited to Leckhampstead only). Medieval Deer Park c1228.
A park is first mentioned here in 1228 when the King granted six does
from Marlborough forest to Peter Fitzherbert (Cal Close 1227-31,
33).
The manor passed in 1336 to Sir Nicholas de la Beche, who also had
parks at La Beche and Yattendon but the Crown also seems to have
exercised control for some time in the fourteenth century. In 1347
the keeper of the manor was ordered to deliver Leckhampstead park to
the custody of the Keeper of the King's stud at Hamstead Marshall
(Cal Close 1346-9, 316). No further references have been found.
