More information : TF 066750 (centred). Barlings Park, M deer park. The Premonstratensian monastery of Barlings was founded in 1154 by Ralf de Haya with endowment of Barlings vill and church that excluded his hunting park there. Barlings Park was added to the endowment by Nicholas de Haya before the end of the l2th century. The field names Greate Parke and Ley Parke occur in the post-Dissolution lease of the monastic demesne and the name was latterly attached to that part of the parish lying W and NW of Barlings village against the parish boundary, which included at least one block of woodland named Barlings Park: the curving boundary of a dyked stream from TF 0553 7541 to TF 0652 7555 may mark its N limit, perhaps continuing SE to TF 0691 7530 before turning S along the edge of the woodland to the parish boundary.
