Park at Carlton in Lindrick of Robert Lupo, first mention 1231. (2)

"Wallingwells Park has a wall on three sides and not on the fourth. In the grant [i.e. the grant founding Wallingwells Nunnery, SK 58 SE 1; dated somewhere between 1130 and the end of Stephen's reign in 1154] Wallingwells is described as a place in the park of Carlton, and was called
St. Mary's de Parco. I suggest that the present park wall is on the site of the old wall of Carlton Park in Ralph's day [i.e. Ralph de Cheurolcourt the grantor of the above mentioned charter.] .....The wall extends at present from the mill to the castle. At the mill end it includes the dam and stream in the park, if continued along the stream it would run down to Carlton Mill (at the church) thus incluiding the park at Carlton Hall. Now, returning to Wallingwells, we find the wall running along the side of the public footpath to Gildingwells from Carlton, if it were continued it would run along this footpath by the side of the wood, then still by the footpath between the wood and thelodge planting, then along the side of Mr. Ramsden's Woods down to the high road through Carlton, which would no doubt form the boundary from about Carlton school to the mill by the church" (1)

No evidence of the c C12 Wallingwells Park was seen during fieldwork. The later park (probably C18) delimited by a stone wall, is now under cultivation. (3)
