DEER AND DEER PARKS. 



Ch. X. 



The park of Ravensworth near New- 

 castle, appears to have been enclosed by 

 license granted to Sir Henry Fitzhugh, in 

 the fourteenth of Richard II.*

A FEW miles south of Carlisle was the 

 Royal Forest of Inglewood, and within its 

 limits Wigton and Black Hall, where 

 WiUiam de Wigton had license to im- 

 park in the fifty-third of Henry III., and 

 Dalston, where the Bishop of Carlisle had 

 a park which he was licensed to increase 

 in the twenty-third year of Edward I.' 

 The Patent Rolls contain several licenses 

 for hunting within this royal forest, grant- 

 ing 'to the Principal Forester, for the 

 Honor of the King, to give leave to 

 knights, " et probris hominibus," to Lords 

 and other nobles, also to sick and preg- 

 nant ladies, to have one course for a stag, 

 hind, buck, or doe, within the said forest.' 

 Two of these hunjj.ng licenses bear date in 

 tHe' third and eighteenth of Edward 1 11.^ 

 To the east of Inglewood was the large 

 park of Barren-wood, and to the south, 

 the still larger park of Greystock. Both 

 are engraved in Saxton's survey of this 

 county in 1576; both are now without 

 deer. The ancient park of Goborro'W, 

 however, 'still exists on the banks of 

 Ulleswater, belonging to Mr. Howard of 

 Greystock. That at Stainton near Dacre 

 in Saxton's map. has disappeared. A 

 more modem park is at Eden-Hall, near

Penrith, the deer having been removed 

 from Kirby. 



In the neighbourhood of Cockermouth 

 four ancient parks are given by Saxton, 

 one of them at Cockermouth itself. These 

 probably appertained to the great House 

 of Percy, of whose sylvan possessions we 

 have so interesting an account in the 

 'Northumberland Household Bopk.' From 

 ' An Account of all the Deer in the 

 parks and forests in the north belonging 

 to the Earl of Northumberland, taken in 

 the fourth year of Henry VIII., Anno 

 15 12,' it appears that there were in Cum- 

 berland 455 red and fallow-deer in the 

 Park of Langstrothdale ; 307 red and 

 fallow-deer in Adylthorp Park ; and 205 

 in the old park of that name ; and 230 

 red deer and 21 fallow-deer in Wasdale 

 (south of Egremont) ; and lastly 225 in 

 The West Ward. Both ancient and mo- 

 dern maps unite in noticing a park at 

 Uffay, now called Ulpha Park, on the 

 River Duddon, on the borders of the 

 county of Lancaster.
