Full Description
A park is mentioned at Hundon in 1124 (?Great Park - HUN 014) and in the late C13 (S5). A keeper is listed in 1315 (S3) and three parks in 1509 (S5). An extent of the manor and the park is given in the inquisition after the death of Gilbert de Clare in the early C14. Estry Deer Park, one of three in Hundon Parish (also HUD 013 and 014) was sold to Sir John Cheke in 1550, as part of the possessions of Stoke Priory, once belonging to Lionel, Duke of Clarence (S2)(R1). The Lodge site is probably the same as Appleacre Farm, TL 750 506, shown as Easty Lodge Farm in 1904 (S1). Boundaries are described as `on the east side of this park lies `Estry Park' which on the north side runs a little into Stradishall parish by Gaymours Farm. Its eastern boundary is the road from Chipley Abbey to Denstone and from the map this may be only a trackway or lane, and the southern boundary the road from Chipley Abbey to Hundon Hall' (S2).
In 1408-10 recorded as having rabbit warren within it (S5).
