An extensive park, containing both red and fallow deer, still
exists at Doddington. (2)
Doddington is listed under deer parks of which there is
evidence of licence to impark. "In 1364 John de Delves had
licence to embattle his mansion house of Doddington, and this
would probably be followed by the enclosing of a park". (3)
The present park boundary has a comparatively modern brick
retaining wall on one side of a ha-ha. The park no longer contains deer and the ha-ha is being filled in. The course of the ?14th century park boundary was not determined. (4)
