Full Description
To the N of Worksop is Hodsock, a park where Master Clifton hath a fair house (Leland). A fair park, but it has long since disappeared (Thoroton). (1)
The only deer park I have heard of is what we call "The Park", the large field to the E of the house. This is of no great extent, but it did contain deer until the last century. (2)
Perambulation ... revealed no features which could have been associated with the remains of a deer park paling (some ? old boundary banks seen). (3)
At the manor house at Hodsock, Henry III spent a certain amount of money on ditching and paling the park between 1250 and 1253. (4)
Park belonging to the Crown at Hodsock, earliest mention 1250. (5)
