den, ' in a parke by him also impaled, 

 well wooded, and garnished with manie 

 fishe ponds.'' 



The Bishop of London had also a park 

 at Hornsey, with a hill called Lodghill, 

 ' for that thereon sometime stoode a lodge 

 when the parke was replenished with 

 deere.'* 



* In former days there had been a park 

 at ' Pynnor,' in the parish of Harrow, of 

 which I find the following account in an 

 original Roll of Woods, &c., belonging to 

 Sir Edward North,' March 20. 2d Ed- 

 ward VI. (1548): — 



'In Pynnor Park be growyeng ccxl. okes 

 of Ix. yeres, and xxiiii. yeres growth, 

 whereof xxiiii. valued at x-xd. the tree, 

 xxiiii. at xiirf. the tree, and xxiiii. resydue 

 at viii^. the tree not here chardged for, 

 bycause the same were solde to John 

 Byrde, farmer of the said parke, by the 

 Archbishope of Canterburye.' To which 

 see the park originally belonged. Nicho- 

 las, abbot of Westminster, was made 



keeper of Pinner Park in 1383 ;' it was 

 alienated by Dudley Lord North in 1630, 

 and has long been converted into til- 

 lage.* 



In 1714 there was a small park or pad- 

 dock of deer at Dawley, in this county, 

 then the seat of Lord Ossulstone.* But 

 two parks containing deer now remain in 

 Middlesex — Bushy and Hampton Court. 



Twickenham Park, though disparked 

 according to Norden in his Description of 

 Middlesex, written in 1596, is marked in 

 Speed's map of 1610. In 1547, Robert 

 Bouchier was made keeper of it, then 

 called ' Islewortk Park^ alias ' The New 

 Park of Richmond.' The name, ' Twick- 

 enham Park,' still exists, though it has 

 been so long without deer. It was sold 

 in lots, according to Lysons in 1805.'

SURREY. 



But one park is recorded in Domesday 

 as existing in the county of Surrey, that 

 namely at Stocha, or Stoke, and which be- 

 longed to the king. Stoke, near Guil-

' Several events in English history were 

 connected with this park of Hornsey. Here 

 the Duke of Gloucester, the Earls of War- 

 wick, Arundel, and others met in a hostile 

 manner, in 1386, to oppose King Richard II. 

 Here the Lord Mayor of London met Ed- 

 ward V. after his father's death, and here 



ford, is here intended; no trace of the 

 royal park remains. The place is identi- 

 cal with Stockton or Stoughton, where 

 Henry de Gildeford had license to im- 



Henry VII. was also met on his return from 

 Scotland, and conducted into the City in like 

 manner.
