Annesley Park

Uploader's Comments

Looking east from Kennel Lane across the undulating parkland. This area was once the pleasure grounds belonging to Annesley Hall - see [[108007]]. The park contains the remains of a 13th century motte and bailey castle (Castle Hill) and was used as a deer park from 1327. Major landscaping took place during the 17th century and further improvements to the grounds were carried out by John Chaworth-Musters from 1859. Today it is used for cattle and sheep grazing.
