4 Lovie reported Parkland with plantations; lake; pleasure grounds with walks; drives (2) one running through belt of mixed planting; lodges. Lovie mentions details of changing ownership over the centuries and states that only in the late 1780s did the family return, make improvements and created a new deer park and lake. He also mentions that the new house built in 1833-8 was demolished in 1976. Features of the 18th and 19th century Parkland, such as the lake and woodland, survive at the time of Lovie's report (1996/7).
5 In the 14th century the Park was merged with Wedgenock Park MWA12985), the deer park associated with Warwick Castle

Description  
period Medieval 1066 AD to 1539 AD (the 11th century AD to the 16th century AD)

The medieval period comes after the Saxon period and before the post medieval period.

The Medieval period begins in 1066 AD.
This was the year that the Normans, led by William the Conqueror (1066 – 1087), invaded England and defeated Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings in East Sussex.
The Medieval period includes the first half of the Tudor period (1485 – 1603 AD), when the Tudor family reigned in England and eventually in Scotland too.

The end of the Medieval period is marked by Henry VIII’s (1509 – 1547) order for the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the years running up to 1539 AD. The whole of this period is sometimes called the Middle Ages.
