108 J. E. HAETING HEETFOEDSHIEE DEEK-PAKKS. 



HoxDON-, Thoelet,* and HADnAir Paeva,! where there was an 

 old park referred to by Chauncy as having formerly belonged to 

 the Bishop of London. 



A little to the south of Hiinsdon was the Manoe of the Rte, J 

 where Henry the Sixth granted a licence to Andrew Agard and 

 others to impark fifty acres of land, eleven acres of meadow, eight 

 acres of pasture, and sixteen acres of wood. 



This park is marked on both Saxton's and Speed's maps, but has 

 long been disparked. 



To the ISr.E. lay Fueneux Pelham § (or Pelham Furneux as 

 Norden has it), disparked in Elizabeth's reign, as appears from the 

 record that in 1600 Lord Mounteagle conveyed the manor-house, 

 with the two disparked parks called the old and new parks, and 

 other lands, to Richard Mead, of Berden, and his heirs. 



Also to the N.E. lay Withiall, or "Wyddial,|l made by Richard 

 Gulston, Esq., who died in 1686. Chauncy, in his view of this seat, 

 depicts deer in the park, but gives no information on the subject. 

 The present owner is Mrs. Heaton Ellis, who is lady of the manor. 



Close by was Throcking,^ formerly the seat of Robert Elwes, 

 Esq. This park is not marked on Saxton's map, but Chauncy 

 gives a view with deer. No trace of it now remains, although the 

 site is known. The manor-house was pulled down, but some of 

 the extensive massive foundations may still be seen adjoining the 

 Hall Farm, the property of Mr. George Coleman. 



Hamels or Hamills,** covers about 200 acres, and contains 

 some very ancient oaks, hornbeams, and thorns, as well as some fine 

 ash and beech trees. "When Chauncy wrote, in 1700, the owner of 

 this manor was Sir Thomas Brograve, whose father had enlarged 

 the park, and greatly improved the property. The view which 

 he gives of the manor-house depicts deer in the park. They 

 existed there up to within the last half century, a fact known 

 to people now living. An old man named John Drage remembers 

 the last deer being killed, by order of the late owner, Miss 

 Hellish, and states (as I am informed through the courtesy of 

 Mr. Gladwin and the Rev. J. A. Ewing) that in the days of the 

 Yorke family the hounds were kept at Hamels, near the park, at the 

 cottages in AVestmill Lane, on the way to the park -wall. In the 

 view of this park given by Chauncy, as before stated, deer are 

 depicted, and in an old map of the park dated 1722, in the posses- 

 sion of Mr. Gladwin, deer are also prominently figured.
